Mine has dramatically improved since updating from R1FA014 to R1FA016 without changing any usage habits.
Previously the phone would struggle to make it past 9PM but now it's still on about 40% at midnight!

I have no idea why this is the case and can't really give a logical explanation, but as others have said, after several charges the phone's battery does in indeed last longer. I now get around 24hours moderate usage

Are you using any apps like juicedefender or any task killer, which could possibly be the reason???

My phone's battery has improved bit by bit over the past 3 days. It's only had 3 charges so far and it's improving. I am using juicedefender and ESTaskManager. I also set my screen to 3% brightness for normal indoor use. I use an app called FastBright to quickly toggle my screen to 100% brightness when I'm outside and need the brightness to see the screen. works GREAT. I also use a toggle called APNToggle that lets me turn off my mobile data when ever i need to for whatever reason. Generally, I also keep it on GSM only setting until I need 3G data, which is only when i'm out of the house. At home, I switch on the wifi when I need to do anything requiring internet/data.
I'm hoping the battery continues to improve and hopefully will make that drastic improvement jump that people have been claiming.
@articreaver - juice defender won't kill your email notifications. It will enable your ADN on the schedule you set and your email notifications will occur at that time. I don't have a problem getting email or twitter updates at all. I was killing tasks a lot at first, but have since just let the OS do its thing remembering that android is supposed to be like linux.

I have been using juice defender... But today I have opted in not using it and also only used task killer once and not since to see how it goes...
Juice Defender runs in the background, so it need to process every 15mins...
However if you are updating manually or every 1/2 hours then this way Juice Defender is doing more as it keeps switchin on and off
Today without Juice Defender - 8 hours standby battery is on 66% which I think is pretty good, I have used timescape a bit and google talk and couple of short calls... Not too bad me thinks...

@SE-Naz: nope not using any of the those type of apps. I master reset my phone about a week ago and have only installed a few minor apps - one of which is Battery Indicator - to display battery percentage in the status bar.

Mine has gone backwards again! After showing an improvement it's now back to expiring before the day is out.
Significantly both times I've taken it to the football the phone has ended up dead quite early, about 8-9pm, without heavy use!
The thing to consider here is that in a football stadium it is difficult for the device to keep it's network connection as there are so many others there too. As we can see in the battery usage stats, Cell Standby is always a killer and I'm now more convinced than ever that the X10 has big radio problems causing massive power consumption
