Like all iPods (and the iPhone is an iPod) data is synced with iTunes on a computer. http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/service/battery/ "Will the data on my iPhone be preserved? No, the repair process will clear all data from your iPhone. It is important to sync your iPhone with iTunes to back up your contacts, photos, email account settings, text messages, and more.

So as I asked is all of your stuff (phone numbers, music, pictures, etc.) stored in non-volatile storage or when you get it back with the new battery is it as empty of all that stuff as it was the day you bought it?

You send it back to Apple and they replace the battery and dispose of the old one safely for a reasonable fee. Or you can send it to one of many third party battery changing companies who may be cheaper. Making lithium batteries user replaceable is an incredibly bad idea environmentally speaking because the old one is going in the household trash 99% of the time. Like people who change their own oil and chuck the old stuff down the drain.

Evil cult attacks
Enviro-loony cult Greenpeace issued a report today on the vile chemicals to be found in the Apple iPhone. http://www.greenpeace.org/usa/news/iphone-s-hazardous-chemicals Apple declined to comment on the cultists' latest attempt to leverage Apple's brand for publicity.
