More important, in daily use, I found the battery indicator on the new 3G model slipping below 20% by early afternoon or midafternoon on some days, and it entirely ran out of juice on one day. I overcame this problem by learning to use Wi-Fi instead of 3G whenever possible, turning down the screen brightness and even turning off 3G altogether, which the phone permits.

Yeah, I saw that Apple is now advocating turning off 3G to save battery life. Kinda defeats the purpose in my mind. So, in order to get through a day or two of use, you need to reduce your iPhone 3G to a first-gen with a pricier data plan.
I bet the best battery life of all comes when you just turn it completely off.

I think that many 1st gen users are probably best off waiting for the next rev.
