i have my brightness turned to nearly minimum and only really notice it when it's really really bright and even then it's not much of an issue (for me anyway).
and as for disabling features well if i'm not using bluetooth it's turned off and so is wireless if i'm out and about aswell as gps and 3g, all it's features take seconds to get back online so turning them back on when needed isn't exactly a ball ache, imo obviously but i find it no bother just to retain the battery life a bit longer.
i do fully agree that the battery life in general is a bit poo but it also has quite a big screen and it will get used alot with net surfing and calls and txt's so we can't expect miricles, if i don't use my phone much and it's just on standby then it'll last a few days easily, my n95 could drain in a day if i used it as much as my iphone but as it didn't have the features like the iphone it seem's to have a better battery life, imo obviously
