If you're using Google Sync to push changes to your Calendar and Contacts back and forth from your iPhone to the cloud, you may have noticed your battery life is drastically reduced. I estimate I get about half the usual standby time when I'm roaming around with push switched on. It's not so bad when I'm at home and have a WiFi connection.
This may seem obvious, but if you switch off 'Push' in Settings > Fetch New Data or change Settings > Fetch New Data > Advanced > Your Profile Name to 'Manual', it will still sync, but only when you open Contacts or Calendar.
It's almost like having a fresh new battery!
BONUS: A nice side effect is that GSM buzz is reduced because the phone isn't in constant communication with the big G's servers.
