Every day, sometimes more than once, and I dont want to have to disable all its features just to make it last 2 days instead, if I wanted a phone with a dim screen and no wireless etc etc I would have bought one!
I have mine plugged into my work pc on a dock all day then lasts me all evening. at weekends i just plug it in on a saturday night! what ya have to keep in mind is that its a mini computer not just a phone! if my laptop battery lasted as long i would be well impressed!
if I wanted a phone with a dim screen and no wireless etc etc I would have bought one!
So I take it you wanted a phone that won't bluetooth to anything non apple, can't take pictures in the dark, something you cant take away for more than a day without the charger, something that doesnt MMS, something that doesnt do video calling, something that has no expandable memory, so you bought an iphone?

same here! I charge mine more than once a day. I carry a blackberry around as well as you can't rely on an iPhone. They WILL always let you down. Terrible as a phone.
Great as a toy and for Internet on move.
Batterys are bad BUT only because they are such fun so you use them all time for stuff.
Turn the brightness down instead of it being on auto.....
Turn the free roaming off.....
ect ect.....
LAst ages then....mine has been on all day, made a few calls, texts ect...been on the net.....still on 80%
exactly as i do and if i don't rape my phone with txt's and the internet then it'll last ages too.

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
So just as bad as my Blackberry then. I can rinse my battery from a full charge in a matter of hours the fucking thing goes through it like lightning. Bluetooth streaming audio in the car, constantly on BB messenger, phone calls, media player on the train. Few hours and 80-90% of the battery has gone to shit. Wish they would fit decent capacity batteries to phones that have a large power drain!

lots of apps that let you do everything you mention and i charge mine everyday but it gets used alot emails keeping up with ebay and used as a ipod so i expect to charge it everyday plus ever heard of a car charger
my iphone battery lasts a good few days between charges.thats makin calls,texts and playin with the apps.
the only things i turned off are notifications for apps and fetch new data for e-mails as i was told by a phone tech these drain the battery more than 3g,wireless settings etc
Just when it needs it really, never found it a problem, there again I don't use push E-mail on it anymore and turn off 3G unless I need it, Iphone can MMS and has done for ages it was in V3 of Iphone along with alot of other features. Iphone can see other Iphones and car kits on bluetooth.

You cant !
You can download an app to allow to other iphones only
To me, this is the biggest issue apart from the battery life

is there not even an app once it's jailbroke as it'll pic up car stereo's and bluetooth head set's so it's not like it's an iphone specific bluetooth, is it?
