How long batteries last?

Hi there,
First of all I never turn off my phones, any I had.
I implemented SSH turn off technique and don't use it much anyway. Few SMS messages, here and there phone call. If I completely charge it on Monday and take it off the charger at noon, by Wed. afternoon I get 20% warning and by Thu. morning it's just red line, needs re-charge immediately. So that gives me 2 1/2 days of useful life.
Hate to mention, old blue Blackberry went 6-7 days easily making charging one a week event.
What kind of battery life experience do you have...?

Thanks
Zack

I am in Canada, so there is no browsing here (not at Rogers "we skin you" rates). So from my quite light usage I would say that heavier user will have only day or day and half of usage. If battery is good for about 400 cycles in about year you will need new one, right?

I can get about 7 hours of constant use, but it looks even worse when you have just had a blackberry...

After reading this I would say that I am OK with 2 1/2 days. Thanks for response.

Im pretty sure it has more cycles than that. Dont quote me, maybe I read it wrong.

My WiFi is off all the time. I heard it drains battery. I don't know how can you get 4 days out of it unless you turn it to airplane mode over nights (I don't do that).
