Music playback battery drain
Apple iPhone 3G (Wi-Fi off, 3G on): 25.5 hours
Apple iPhone (Wi-Fi off, EDGE on): 31.4 hours
Samsung Instinct (3G on, Wi-Fi unavailable): 18.2 hours
Video playback battery drain (same settings as audio)
Apple iPhone 3G: 2.68 hours
Apple iPhone: 5.99 hours
Samsung Instinct: 4.28 hours
File transfer speed to transfer a single 500MB file to the phone from a PC
Apple iPhone 3G: 1.35 minutes
Apple iPhone: 1.6 minutes
Samsung Instinct: 7.71 minutes
(using iTunes 7.7 for iPhone and Windows Media Player 11 for Instinct)
My guess is that iPhones are optimized for iTunes software. With Instinct, you can direct copy via USB (without using Windows Media Player) and also take the MicroSD card out to use with a PC memory card reader. You can also replace it with a faster memory card.

With Instinct you can whip out that spare battery, though. Not with iPhone. The microSD card does seem really slow on transfer. It's not Windows media player. Still slow when I use MediaMonkey to sync music. Videos I copy directly from my PC and your stats seem pretty much on for transfer.
True about the battery swap, so that should make up for it. But the iPhone is definitely far more equipped to be the multimedia powerhouse that it is.
True but iPhone 3G is with an expensive carrier ($20 to $50 per month extra for comparable plans).
