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.<br><br>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. I must be one of the few iPhone users who can get multiple days use off of one charge.
