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.

Bye
