The Apple website does gives some explanation about what to expect from your battery. They advise you to one use one application at a time, for example.

Another simple thing to do is press the lock key on the iPhone. Once youve finished using the phone or checking email, make sure to lock your iPhone. Many people just put their iPhone in their pockets and wait for the iPhone to turn off by itself. This also drains the iPhone power because the screen has not turned completely off. You can also set your iPhone for auto lock after a certain number of minutes, which is a smart thing to do.
