I have 3G on all the time. My iPhone 4 lasts the whole day, no issues.

Are you a hevy user on your phone.

Most of the time no. But when I'm playing games, browsing the internet or just texting/talking a lot, the battery goes down rather quick.

I never turn it off. I find it odd that some do actually.

I check email and websites quite a bit each day via 3G. Never had any issues.

I plug my phone in either after work or sometime for an hour or so before work (after I get up) and it charges it fully.

EDIT: I have an iPhone 3G, if it matters.

I leave 3G on all the time because I've got better coverage with it than EDGE where I live. I'm a fairly heavy RSS, Twitter and facebook reader and mine lasts all day as well. I'm not a heavy gamer though.

3G all the time for me, why would I want to use edge? I am a heavy user as well.

Really? Because I tried it and was surprised at how slow it was.

Yea, I was up in an edge only area a month ago and was surprised how fast pages were loading. I also tried it last night in town and it wasnt bad either.
