Re: Thanks to the iPhone.. said by drew:Si senor. Medium non-voice usage (typically music) brings it down to sub 40% before 4pm, especially if I did my morning browsing on it (15-20 minutes). This is w/o location services, wifi off, decent signal. That's odd. After a day of heavy usage (browsing, email, maps, music) I'm usually down to 50% or so. I have wi-fi on all the time. I'd guess that you forcing wi-fi off is probably causing you MORE battery drain - the 3G connection gives you slower speeds and probably uses much more power.
I'm also finding more and more my phone will hop on my cableco's wifi when I'm out and about which is a bit spooky - I didn't realize the scope of their coverage.

| Except I'm not surrounded by hotspots -- I don't live in a metro area at all. So having wifi on in a major city (NYC, for example) might end up being a boon to battery, however for someone like me who would be hours between hot spots, not so much. Even the folks at the local AT&T store recommend for people to turn their wifi off if they aren't sure there's a hotspot nearby.
