4 day old iPhone - is this poor battery performance normal?

Well, I did get anything from 5-7 days out of the android phone, but, you are right 3g data was off, no emails, no web browsing, and I can count on one hand the number of voice calls I made/took in one year.
All I ever did was send the occasional text.

Given this usage pattern, you may wonder why I have a phone at all, which is how I am feeling now, but the iPhone is far more integrated in to my life because of how it works with my iMac, which the android never did.

Well that makes more sense. Thanks for the info!

This.

I was shocked at how much brightness plays with battery life. Auto-brightness, for me is the worst. I turned it off and immediately had better life. I then adjusted the brightness from 80% down to about 40% - added two hours of usage!

It took a little getting used to, but I now get about 6-7 hours of usage each day. I use it mainly for internet and messaging (not much voice), so my usage suffers compared to some people.

Auto brightness is the real bugger...... it also had a bug that killed it loading video streams on youtube...... I think thats sorted now however.
