The iPhone Users Manual mentions 3 things to conserve battery life -
Location Services switch to off, Fetch New Data set to a less frequent
period, and Screen Brightness.
My own experiences suggest that switching Location Services off has
the biggest impact on battery life - you get prompted if you use an
app that requires it to be on. I set Fetch New Data to off for Push
and Fetch to every 30 minutes as this matches my Mac email settings
but you may value Push more than myself. I didn't alter the auto
screen brightness setting but did lower the normal level somewhat.
My own trials with both 3G and Bluetooth ended with leaving them
switched on as I couldn't see much impact on battery life - I only use
a Bluetooth headset in the car.
I reckon on charging the iPhone every other day unless I have watched
video extensively - use BBC iPlayer a lot on the iPhone which I find
excellent.
I've just invested in an iLuv iMM173 bedside clock/audio unit that is
an iPhone 3G certified unit so it has now become a habit to plugin my
iPhone to charge nightly. Good sound, big display, two docks, etc.
Worth the cost.
