Yes, if they accept the battery life as a manufacturing problem.

They will make you activate the replacement phone before you leave the store.

I had my iPhone 3G replaced due to battery life + issues with the network (may have been the actual network but I threw the blame on the iPhone). You might get stuck however since you're not on AT&T... They will activate the iPhone before you leave the store, like previously said. And, if you're not on AT&T....well, you can't activate the iPhone at the store. Stuck.
