Here are my own tips:

1. set the brightness level to either minimum or to Auto.

2. stop all apps that require an internet or wi-fi connection (like Weatherbug, Google Maps/Latitude, Facebook, Twitter et al) whenever you are at work or have a weak signal area.

3. Turn off GPS.

4. Avoid those Live wallpapers as much as possible. just the plain wallaper would do unless you wanna show-off your phone to your pals.

5. Set the Screen Off to 15 seconds. the longer it turns off the more it uses battery.

6. install a task killer to stop all apps running in the background (or otherwise) thus saving battery life.

7. if you are on a weak signal area turn on your wi-fi.

any more....?

settings > data synchronization. keep background data and auto-sync turned off when not needed

8. set the screen brightness to its minimum.

9. install a power manager app. helps save battery life.
