yeah its true that iphone 3G only have half the battery but if you can smart enough to maintain ur battery it will stay at least 1 day without charging and also get ur self an extended external battery pack.

- set the brightness low, no wifi/bluetooth, and only use those thing when you want its kind of smart i think not to turn on wifi all day long without having use that once so yeah.. turn it off

- maintain battery since you start using it… charging the iphone 3G battery at least when its turn low battrey for 20% till full 100% and dont leave it half charge.. make sure its full

- if you know that you do wrong with the battery just use it till the phone is dead then charging till full and next time charge while 20%

“Hilarious… your RAZR runs for days. Yeah, because it doesn’t DO anything!”

That’s funny, but actually, it surfaces an important issue- our nomenclature is lagging the technology. We call the Razr a “cell phone,” and we call the iPhone a “cell phone,” too. But they’re very different devices.

I’m not sure that “Smart phone” covers it, either. In the end maybe we’ll call the new devices “communicators,” or something like that. In the meantime, it’s as if we didn’t have the term “pick-up truck” or “SUV,” and just called everything a “car.” Then someone complains that their “car” can’t tow a three-ton load.

More context is needed…

This is a crap attempt to degrading the phone. Notice after each bullet point on the Apple site that it says, if you don’t use it, or if you’re not using it at the time… This site is giving a partial truth and presenting it as if it is the full truth. What a load of garbage.

Anonymous, do you even have an iPhone 3G? While Allen’s post was tongue-in-cheek, he’s pretty much on the money. I could run my RAZR for days without a recharge. My 3G? Already ran out of juice, and I haven’t done all that much with it other than install apps and let my kid watch Elmo videos.

yep – so basically you have to turn on and off features all day – that sounds like fun!

The killer app will be someone who figures out a power management app–that based on your needs and past usage history–can save some battery life automagically without having to tweak these settings manually.

The overhyped iPhone is for dumbass Mactards and gullible fashion lemmings.

Ahahaha… I had to laugh at that one, simply because its true. It doesn’t do much of anything in the background or run processes that would kill any other devices.

RE: “Apple Explains How To Extend Battery Life on the iPhone 3G”

=====================
At the launch of the FIRST iPhone, Steve Jobs said that 3G is a battery hog, and that he wanted to introduce 3G when battery life could be improve.

He was castigated for his honesty by all analysts, journalists, and geeks around the world.

Now that he did bring 3G to the iPhone he should NOT be criticized for making YOU aware of your UNJUSTIFIED criticism.

What’s the big deal. Blackberry users have known this stuff for ages.

And the iPhone STILL has a longer life than BB’s.
