Finally I've found something!
Einstein from freeyourphone.de got a Freerunner and started a very good
report [1], also if it's only in German (Google Language tools could
help you, but I hope that the review author will post some informations
written in English here too), it states that actually the battery lasts
about 8-8.5 hours in standby (!= suspend mode, so with running CPU).
He doesn't exactly say what he's running, but at least GSM is going.
I agree in saying that this is a good starting point, since the
suspend-mode (so with most devices off) isn't yet available in
Freerunner (due to kernel bugs, I guess) and that should increase (a
lot) the battery life.
I hope that both Einstein and Kevin Dean would post other informations
about this important topic.
