700P
My first two days of measuring battery life, with phone ON, one alarm per hour (low volume) no talk time, two or one bars signal level, range about 19 hours from charge to dead - progressively loosing 3 to 7 percent of battery life per hour.

After I have done a few more tests I will post a graph.

Here is my question: What does Standby Battery Life mean?

It is published, quoted and Reported to be in the 200 to 300 hour range.
Does anyone know if this is with the Phone OFF, or with the Phone ON and no talk time?

If it is with the Phone OFF, which is what I suspect, then it is probably meaningless hype to a phone user.

I have seen in only one anecdotal report an estimate of 40 to 45 hours of Phone ON, no talk battery life - and that was unclear. I have also read another report that says that after a hard reset the battery life was great.. but how can a single thread OS leave a process running?

Experiences?
