Now the battery drops maybe 5% overnight! I can almost go the whole day without recharging if I'm not surfing.

I just manually fetch all e-mail and use the celluar network when not at home or at the office.
Yeah, the super power miser list is something like:
- Push off
- 3G off
- WiFi off
- Bluetooth off
- GPS (location services) off
- Screen brightness lower

I wish there were a convenient way to turn all of this stuff on and off at once, with a single tap, instead of having to individually do each one.

The battery life on my iPhone 4 is notably better than my iPhone 3G (not 3GS) was. Still not "great". I don't think any smartphone has gotten "great" battery life yet.
