Don't be that naive, Todd. He only has his (make-believe?) "friend." Never
any actual proof. Even Navas ain't that bad. He said, and I quote, "A phone
with a battery life that sucks and won't last thru a day of use." That
statement is bullshit. I am a very heavy user and have no problem making it
through a day--and not down to 10% either.

Visit any iPhone forum--say everythingicafe.com--and see how many people are
bitching about battery life. Very, very little--unless it's a true defect.
Those kinds of forums breed complaints more than praise, so they should be
overflowing with battery complaints (people don't pop in to say, "everything
was peachy today!"). And give folks more credit: they don't need to have
owned a smartphone before understand that they actually use the iPhone a
heck of a lot more than their prior phone. That said most of the iPhone
users I know did in fact have a smartphone previously, usually more than
one.

Better yet next time you are by an Apple store see how many iPhones are
being returned. Feel free to ask around. If you really feel gutsy ask about
the Beaver's claim... if you don't mind getting laughed outta the store. <g>
