Honestly, I've had better battery life out of the Droid than I've seen from any other smartphone I've ever owned (two PalmOS devices, three Windows Mobile phones, three iPhones and a G1 -- by way of explanation, I do mobile development for my day job, so I have some justification for having these many random phones floating around).  The battery life has been one of the things I've been most impressed by.

 

However, many phones will chew power when they're trying to obtain signal.  I'd be curious to see if your phone has a better battery life if you were somewhere with a good, solid consistent signal, rather than in a house made of 'cell signal killing materials,' as you suggested.
