iPhone battery would last over a day or two, if you take some simple measures while using your iPhone. Found this interesting post on CNET. Let me pull it up. For a detailed instructions, please click here:

• Reset iPhone – Hold down the home and sleep buttons simultaneously until you see the white Apple logo indicating that your iPhone has restarted.
• Restore with original settings – Restore your iPhone by launching iTunes and selecting the Restore option on your iPhone’s Summary page.
• Drain the battery completely – Instead of charging it midway through a battery drain, add more juice only after the battery dies completel.
• Force quit applications – If an application quits unexpectedly and you begin to notice poor battery life, relaunch the application, then force quit it by following the directions in this post.
• Lock your iPhone – Make sure that your iPhone goes to sleep automatically when not in use.
• Applications with Push Notifications – Few apps use location services and push notifications. You can turn off Location Services in Settings > General menu. You’ll have to deactivate Push Notifications for each app individually, also in the Setting menu.
• Push notifications for e-mail – Turn this option off in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Fetch New Data before restarting your iPhone.
• Checking fewer e-mail accounts – Deleting e-mail accounts or turning them off can preserve battery life as well.
• Airplane mode – Since constantly seeking a cellular connection also drains the iPhone’s battery, the airplane mode is useful if you’re in an area with poor cellular coverage.
• Reset network settings – Restarting your phone will delete any stored Wi-Fi passwords, DNS settings, and more.
• Turn off Wi-Fi and/or Bluetooth – Be sure to turn off these features when not in use.
• Turn off 3G – The iPhone’s 3G radio consumes a lot of juice so turning if off will save power.
• Adjust brightness – Dimming the screen definitely can extend battery life. Turning off the Auto-Brightness settings also will help.
• Turn off the equalizer – Just like on the iPod, this feature can reduce battery life. Select Flat.

iPhone 3G battery is good for 3.5 hours of continuous browsing on safari. This study comes from AppleInsider.

An average of five 3G talk time tests (PC World, WSJ, PC Mag, CNet, and WirelessInfo) have the new iPhone’s battery lasting just shy of 5 hours and 20 minutes when used solely to perform voice calls — 20 minutes more Apple’s own tests, and good enough to place the handset among the best in its class.

iPhone 3G Battery Life is best amongst the rivals

With iPhone 3G, the shorter battery life is something which many prospective buyers evaluate before buying the instrument. But here is the report by PC World which contradicts that belief – The battery life on Apple’s new 3G iPhone isn’t great, but it beats that of other 3G smart phones we’ve seen. PC World’s Test Center ran it through our standard talk-time battery life test, and found that on average it ran 5 hours, 38 minutes, a running time that we consider earns a Fair rating.

And the good news for 3G iPhone owners is that they’re probably better off than other 3G handset owners in terms of battery life. But that won’t help when your 3G iPhone stops running at the end of a long and busy day.
