Google battery life on the iPhone. What do you see ? People are saying the
same thing. Battery life sucks.

So there all wrong as well ? Only a few have said the battery life is great.
Then again if the device is something you love, you kind of look at it with
closed eyes.

I've used one for a week. Fully charged before going to bed. Not checking
anything thru the web. During the day the phone calls mins were a total of
about 30 mins.I had it set to check email every 30 mins. Battery was warning
20% left 10 hours later.
Bluetooth was used for the 30 min's of calling. But was turned off after.
