iPhone 5 short battery life?

I was lucky and got my new phone yesterday, but the battery barely lasts. After checking my email for about 30 seconds i lose 2%. I made sure nothing was running in the background, but the drain is worse than my 3GS I just upgraded from. Any suggestions?

13' white 2.1 GHz 1 BG 667 MHZ; Dell Desktop running Windows 2000, Mac OS X (10.5.4), 30 GB ipod, 16GB ipod touch 2nd Gen
