I must be one of the few iPhone users who can get multiple days use off of one charge. I tend to use Wi-Fi instead of 3G. Its faster and uses less power. I can watch 3 videos on it in one charge. If you are on a plane, turn on airplane mode and it will help conserve battery. If it can't get a signal on a plane, the phone will continuously try to ping a tower which will drain the battery. I like that it doesn't currently have a native GPS system. It would severely drain the battery to have to constantly communicate its location and give you directions. The Google Maps function on the phone gives a good enough GPS function for now. The pin even moves on the map as you do.

I have noticed that people complain about the battery life and don't bother trying to do anything about it. The iPhone is a phone first and multimedia second. For those who would bash the “crappy” signal strength they get, I have no problem getting a signal in the city, suburbs, or in mountains. There were a few dead spots in the mountains, but there also weren't any town around.

el negro,

That whooshing sound you’re hearing is the breeze generated by hordes of iPhone-haters looking for ways to distance themselves from you, lest they be associated with this comment.

If you want to hate the iPhone, knock yourself out. (I, for example, will be passing on the iPhone, opting instead for something simple and cheap. If I determine that I want the application capabilities of the iPhone, I’ll start looking into the iTouch.) If you want to love the Sidekick, I’m not about to stand in your way.

However, if you’re going to brag about the texting capabilities of your LX, you might want to check your spelling, capitalization, and punctuation. Otherwise, people might assume that you’re using a piece of crap for a phone that doesn’t allow you to type correctly, instead of the glorious device that blessed us with your wit and wisdom. – Tim

They are also years ahead of the rest of the world when it comes to
desktop or laptop too. Last time ive changed my computer the total cost.
Was 300$ to get a Quad Xeon. Value IS important. Sold my old one for 2500. Added 300 and Voila… top of the line computer for 300. Cool no ? Its been like that for at least 9 years now.

So far since the start Ive added just about 300 every 3 years to get upgraded.
So its 100 $ a year to have a Verry expensive machine ? I think I spend about the same as everybody else no ? I like Apple. How much did you spend and what did you get ?
