with regular modest usage (ie. not too much video, or streaming, or web browsing), I can get a full day and just charge once a day (ie. overnight)... although I'm usually at 10-20% by then...
But if I surf the web for an extended amount of time, or listen to a bunch of podcasts (seem to drain more than pandora some reason), or even just play with it and have the screen on for any appreciable amount of time (say killing time somewhere) i have to do a late day charge before I leave the office (i have an apple dock/usb cable at work just for this reason).... Of course checking twitter and FB every 15 min isn't doing any good LOL... the screen will kill any battery...
But overall, battery life is pretty decent... i've noticed a recent downgrade from JB'ing, but did a few days of fully draining/fully charging (ie. reconditioning) and seems to be almost back to normal (pre-JB)... fairly satisfied... although wish I could go 2 full work days, so ie. about 40hrs (from 7am on day 1 to 11pm on day 2) on a charge, but that's not happening... was able to with the 9700 I used to have, but there's no way I'm going back to that painful experience... lol
