Here's mine (iPhone 4), I tried to snap it at 1% but it died on me 
a grand total of 7 Hours and 12 Minutes....
Note: It is all 3G browsing, Wifi browsing and about an hour and a half of music. About 20% i just kept playing youtube video's to drain the battery so I could cycle it, I reckon I could have got to 8 Hours + easily.
Note 2: I have everything off and brightness around 30% (With auto-brightness)

3G on
Wifi off
Brightness was at full but I lowered it to mid level
15 minutes push fetch email
I do use my phone a lot, though. I make calls, send texts, and just mess around with it. So, when i see the other numbers, I do wonder if the difference in my stats is the phone taking the usage and just averaging it out.
3D games, Safari and push/fetch are real battery killers so I think your ok. Best to cycle the battery though, maybe twice.
Your battery is fine, it's just the brightness being turned up all the way will kill it much faster.
Even halfway can be a bit much. If your indoors and stuff, I would put the brightness on 30-35%. It's plenty bright that way.
And fetch mail every 15 min uses battery as well. I have my fetch to "manual" and I push my mail. So I only get email maybe every hour or two.
usage: 2 h 37 m
standby: 8 h 13 m

you guys should also reset your Cellular Network Data right when you unplug in the morning..that will show you more of a true indicator..because you cuold be on your phone for 5 min and download 20 meg of data, which will skew your battery life..

5h 10m usage
7h 22m standby
36% left on battery. I've been using BeeJive almost all day and had a few phone calls and checked my Farmville occasionally. Much better than my previous 3GS for sure.

Don't need to cycle li-ions
Just a heads up, you don't need to cycle a lithium-ion battery. 100%->0% and 0%->100% is really hard on it. To get the longest life out of your battery, charge to 80% and discharge to 20%. Li-Ions don't suffer from "memory loss" that nickle-cadmium batteries used to do. While it's obviously not easy to do this all the time, the more you stick to the 80-20 rule, the longer your phone will run in the long run.

Usage 3h 14m
Standby 4h 52m
3G and wifi on, push notifications on, mail set to manual, location on, bluetooth off. Mostly using web, Beejive, Twitter, Facebook apps and browsing the app store. Fastest drains seem to be on downloading/installing new apps.
