Now people who have used smart phones in the past such as HTC devices or other Windows Mobile phones know better and would not be complaining about the iPhones battery life.

I totally agree! People come from basic phones and expect to get 3-4 days worth of phone out of the iPhone. It's just unrealistic!
To those whose main argument is "I bought the phone to use these features, why should I turn them off?" No one is saying don't use the features, just when your not using them if you want to maximize battery life it would be in your best interest to turn them off, if you don't want to turn the features off when your not using them and have everything running expect your battery to drain faster than others. Plain and simple.
As far as my battery life goes, I consider myself a high intensity user so I always carry around with me a battery pack. My battery usually hits 20% after 5 hours. In this time I watch like 2 hours worth of movies, listen to an hour of songs, play an hour of video games, and then talk, text, and email for another hour. I'm rather impressed because my old phone could last for 3 days but I turn on the crappy internet and it could be fully charged and be die in 15mins.
