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

Hi from Vancouver. Just thought I'd add my voice to the mix. Yes same exact thing happening with mine as well. It was in standby for about 3 or 4 hrs and dropped from 100% to 77%. It was almost completely dead after 6 hours of using it lightly yesterday as well. Tried a hard restart a few times too with no luck. Hopefully we'll figure it out! There must be something going on.
