I'm hoping mine improves over the next few days. I'm on wi-fi at home, and my battery seems to drain faster (though I am using it more at home than I am at work). I have two of the standard batteries, and I'm currently getting about 10 hours on my first (at work, on 4g with 2-3 bars) and about 6 or 7 on the second (the one that's mostly on wi-fi, but I'm playing with it more).
Some of you may remember that I said I had to hold off in getting a Galaxy Nexus, due to the uncertaintly of our job... we'll know whether we have jobs going forward the first week of January 2012. Well, I received a VERY pleasant surprise yesterday morning from my manager's manager: an AmEx gift card for "Performance and Recognition"! I wasted no time in calling Verzion and ordering a Galaxy Nexus!! It will be here on Thursday.Not only that, when I called, they gave me the web-only price of $260 rather than $300!!
I didn't want to go to the store... the reps there move at the speed of drifting continents and it's always a zoo at this time of year. Plus, when I tried to order it online, it said it wasn't compatible with my data plan so the phone rep had to tweak a few things (I'm holding onto my unlimited data plan for dear life).
I'm so excited, I can't stand it!
I order an extra extended battery on 12/16 and I guess I should be getting it soon. The reason I said guess, is because there is no way for me to check on my order via VZWs web site for some odd reason. The page has been down for a few days now.
PS; What is an iPhone, I see peeps mention it in there post once in awhile?
I know my link posts can be overwhelming, but if there's one link you should all check out, it's this one. Got three games, a radar detector app, and a couple others all free.
Nice, I just got mine yesterday in the mail. 13 hours so far and I'm only at 51%.
Mine definitely improved over the course of the first 3 days with it. Then I rooted so it's hard for me to say how good 4.0.2 was on battery life.
I flashed android revolution HD AHRD rom (4.0.2) last night, because of my battery life experience on 4.0.3 was/is markedly better.
I still have yet to try my ext battery as I've been fine with the stock one getting through a solid day. The issues with the android os are so random with me and I can't find a rhyme or reason as to why yet.
10 hours is pretty good all on 4G if you're using it moderately imo
I haven't rooted (I'm a root virgin), and I don't have plans to root my GN, unless someone who knows what they are doing actually does it for me.
Even though I'm on 4G all day, I barely touch my phone at work, so it seems it should last more than 10 hours...at least I hope it will eventually. My DX would last from 5 a.m. until usually somewhere betwen 8-10 p.m. Now, I'm putting in my spare battery before I leave work.

lol. I think you'll see more improvement on phone sleep states as the updates roll out. It's still so early for this release. I remember the Eris, the Inc, the Bionic, and all the initial "my battery life is awful, my phone won't sleep, look at this awake time!, etc.."
It will improve I know it!
One more picture -- the camera is nowhere as bad as people are making it out to be. Even as a hobbiyst photographer with a Canon 5D and a nice lineup of lenses I still find this camera very useable for walkaround shots.
Pshhh Nikon -- so backwards.
