That's good.

however, it is still not as good as my Nokia that died

may be it is the beautiful displays that saps all the battery juice

My 3GS lasts for about 1-1.5 days only, depending on usage. Guess with all the surfing, games, displays etc it's inevitable.[/quote]Turn off the 3G, WiFi and Bluetooth when not in use.
You can also reduce the Brightness .. all these will help to save the battery life.

for me the 3G, wifi, blue tooth is on 24/7, esp the blue tooth using it in car to connect as car phone

moderate usage, battery life last 2 days (my old nokia 4 to 5 days)

Blue tooth turned on only when I transfer files over to PC. Otherwise, everything else is minimum to conserve battery life.

Yes battery life sucks...


Was having a training yesterday and does not have access to power point/ laptop...

All I did was to check emails, share price and did some sms.... By 5pm, it was down to 20% though I started with full batt in the am. I saw it reducing by 1% every few minutes.

As I was having training, I even lowered the volume and didn't switch on vibrate mode as that will consume even more power. Blue tooth is off all the time unless I need it.

At the end of the day, I went to buy a portable mobile charger that allows me to power up to 60%. So now I carry this portable mobile charger with me all the time for contingency.

For me, I carry another hp (my personal line). So I am not overly concerned if my batt really died on me. But it's unthinkable... imagine someone with only the iphone but had to look for public phone because the battery is flat. :x

You are using which generation of iPhone? The battery life of iPhone4 is much better than previous generation.

You can check if these settings are always ON because they can consume up battery if set to ON. I would only set ON when I want to use these features.

Notifications
WIFI
Location services

And if you are using OS4, please remember to clear those applications you have used. If not they would be running \"behind\". A quick double click of the round home button, click and hold on one of the applications, you would see the cross X. Delete them one by one.

I am using iphone 4. Maybe my benchmark is against my mobile phone that can last for several days without charging.
