Iphone battery sucks. With out of the box settings, it lasts 2-3 hours max. apple says to disable 3G and location services(gps) to improve battery life. disable 3G for iPhone 3G? I tried disabling both and I got around 6-8 hrs battery life. May be mine was faulty. I am going to wait couple more months before considering iPhone again. phone is also not stable. It used to restart more, not sure why. I just returned mine after using 3 days. Iphone battery sucks.
