Sorry to add another battery question, but just trying to find out where mine fits in the scheme of things . . .

I do not have the radical drainage problems that indicate an obvious problem.

However, my take on the majority of threads is that it seems most are getting over 5 hours usage with WiFi and 3G turned on, and reasonable brightness.

All of my stats are in the range of 4 to 4 1/2 hours total usage, with a day or so standby. Generally heavy on the 3G, some WiFi, very little else.

[In light of recent threads, I am not a compulsive returner. No problems on my 2 MacBooks, previous iPhone, various iPods, (OK, I did return my iPad but the screen was yellow;)]
 
It's normal to get that battery life if you use heavy 3G. People with longer battery life might listen to music
