I got about 8 hours use and 9 hours stand by the other day haven't done it since though. But it really drops quick once you hit 30%.
Average Battery Life. What's Yours?

the nice genius bar at my local Apple store kindly changed my iPhone out for a new one(i swapped up to an 8gig too) because of the battery issue. i will post back my new results when i get down to 20% to compare(see page 1 or 2 when i posted my 20% usage and standby times). i did notice today that when i took my iPhone off the carger it was full and had a glow , where as my old phone looked like it was at 95% all the time even after an overnight stay in the dock....its a software issue im almost 100% positive on because i could be at 20%, turn my phone off and on again , then it would be at 50%. just like how ipods work the software that controls battery life isn't too accurate. Apple suggests customers who are having problems , to let it die completely so it shuts off , then charge it to 100%, that teaches the phone its full and empty capacitys. they also recommended restoring the software .
I've had it on without charging (not in standby) for around 16 hours with about 75% battery left. I've done minor app use (calendar, photos, photo taking, quick use ipod music/video, maps, weather, phone use, mail, internet... well, just about everything... but I've not use any app extensively.)
why are you just using your iPhone to listen to music? we all know that it's impossible to get those usage and standby numbers unless you're just listening to music... because video lasts maximum 7 hours, talk 8 hours max, internet 6 hours max... but listening to music lasts 24 hours...So far, I win
Usage: 10 Hours, 10 Minutes
Standby: 3 Days, 2 Hours
30% Battery Left.
