Short answer, it depends...

If you are in an area with good 3G signal and you are just a light user (not making much use of web browsing, apps etc) then you can expect it to last a few days without a charge.

If you are using it extremely heavily you'll run out of charge before the end of a working day. Being in an area with poor 3G coverage with 3G turned on can really hammer the battery life.

I use mine quite a bit for browsing, apps etc and I normally go 36 hours or so between charges. But then I have days where I use it a lot and have to charge before the end of the first day.

My record so far was over 4 days, but that was with aircraft mode turned on quite a bit as I knew I wouldn't be able to charge it.
