I would certainly love to have it at 100% all the time, but frankly the battery is the one true weak part of the equation making up the iPhone. (Not that's it any worse than other smart-phones, but I really wish we'd see a leap in battery-performance).
How much better can it get? Typical battery life for me is about 9 hours with brightness is about 75%. I use more data then voice, as talking on cell phone is not satisfying to me.
I have mine at 100% all the time. I have to charge it more. I listen to music and ESPN radio at work on my iPhone but it sitting on a iPod speaker dock so I'm not sure how long my battery would last. I have a car charger in the car, so I've never really went a whole day without having my phone charging. I assume if I did with the brightness at 100% that my battery life would be horrible. I love my phone at 100%, I'm still amazed by the display 10 months later.
I have to say that Apple seems to have done it again. I thought my battery was going to be toast after turning the brightness up. However even with 4.3 I was ending up charging at 80% or so which is a huge difference from the 60s I was getting previously with the brightness turned down.
What sort of battery life have you gotten that way, if ya don't mind me asking.

Sorry it took me a while to respond, but I have battery all day ... I'm in class most days but I still play on it. I charge my phone every night, no spot charging.
Thanks to this thread I have now been using the phone with the brightness almost all the way up and I feel like I got a new phone. Wish I would have tried this long ago. The screen looks so much better!!!! Woohoo!!!
I've had an iPhone since the first one was released and I have always had my screen brightness to the max. I hate having to try to squint to see what's on the screen, it's especially hard to see when it's bright outside.
