It will get better... I know that I can now get 20+ hours out of, depending on how I use my iPhone during the day. Lots of game playing and talking will eat the battery, but I am not "nursing" it to get through the day... at just over 8 hours I am still at 79%... with almost 3 hours total "usage" vs standby.
Part of the issue is "breaking it in"... and then there's the new toy exploration phase, where you are constantly doing something on it because it's new...
My son-in-law did tell me early on that the battery life will suck, but it gets better... (his 3GS was likewise, horrible at first)... and he was right... it does get better.
