As my active fascination with my new iPhone begins to fade, I’m still passively impressed with the capabilities of this fantastic device. With the iPhone firmly nestled into my daily routine, it began pulling its weight almost immediately. I’ll be straightforward: its battery life doesn’t even come close to the seven days I used to get out of some cell phones I had in past. Then again, those were cell phones that did not also serve as PDAs, iPods, and web browsing devices (which I occasionally use in an attempt to redefine unlimited). After following the steps I outlined in day two, and restoring the phone (I figured, what harm could it do), I could very well squeeze two days of normal use* out of the battery. More to come in the next post!
*I define normal use as 2-3 hours of music, a few texts, a quick (under ten minutes) phone call or two, some IMs on aim, push** updating one email account every thirty minutes, 10-20 minutes of video, and some facebooking. By the way, this post was written from my iPhone.
**Sorry, I meant fetch, not push. Happens to the best of us.
