Social Times: The iPhone Isn’t Really Wireless

These problems sounded nearly identical to the early issues with the N95.
After enough time, Nokia finally released firmware that overhauled the memory management for full multitasking ability. Like you I was only managing 4 hours or so of a charge when using it heavily, now the battery lasts all day and possibly 2 days. GPS was buggy at first but now works great.
The only point I'm making is while the N95 is awesome (heh) it went through its rough patches and Nokia took plenty of time to use the early adoptors to figure out what is wrong and correct it on the firmware level.
As long as apple has got the underlying hardware right, I think you can expect better battery life and performance as they optimize the firmware. At least I hope so.
So that being said enjoy it and remember the basic way to enhance battery life is to 1.) turn off 3g, you really don't need it, and 2.) set the brightness to a minimum setting.
I hope Apple figures out the mutiltasking thing because that will get annoying, nothing like having several apps running on your phone :D (like on the N95)

After the new toy effect wears off, I'd be curious to know how you actually use it - say in 2 months.

As Erik said I would like to hear more about the device than your disappoints. I read your other posts about it and I have to say they read like you have something against the iphone itself.
As far as the battery life goes you observed but never investigated a possible cause. Plus - is this your first Apple product? They all have battery issues. In a lot of cases its just running higher end hardware. That pretty screen is gonna suck more juice than a blackberry - its logical to me.

I read your article on the iPhone, as I just got the new iPHONE on Saturday, and I will agree with you on the battery life, as I feel like I have to constantly charge the phone. However I was stunned I guess today when I played music for about 2 hours this morning on the phone, and still fully charged. Maybe it comes and goes who knows?
Also, the applications are awesome on the iPHONE. Check out Twitterific, Todo, and Evernote, which are very valuable to have on your phone.
