iphone 3GS
I am sitting here in the lobby of the Palace Hotel in San Francisco waiting to have lunch with a local friend. I have spent the past week here in the Bay Area attending two real estate conferences, both with a focus on technology and Social Media in the industry. I have only had the iPhone 3GS for about a month now and this was a great test to see how it performs as a business tool for this former Blackberry user. My primary observation….what is with the lack of battery on this device? Wherever we went, the hotel, conference center, restaurants, clubs I was able to employ my newest search capability – looking for an outlet to recharge the dang device (along with half the people I was with). The battery drain is incredible! At best it seems about 4 hours is the tops I can get before I am power scouting.
Advice that has been given to extend the charge life has been, turn off location services, turn off blue tooth, turn off many of those features. I love it, shut down the cool features of the hottest new phone – kind of makes it just a phone, no? It will be interesting to see the performance once I return home. I have some thoughts but they need some testing. peace.

Oh, as you know I agree. I spent an unforgiveable amount of time making sure I was near outlets because my iPhone went into death mode far too quickly- and this is with most of these features shut off. Using the camera feature seemed to drain it even more quickly.
Then, like you said, it is just a phone, and frankly that is not its best side.
Do you remember how I how I had to employ my FuelCell recharging device during REBCCHI? I would add denial of Google Voice to my complaints as well. Began to use the number a few weeks ago and works great, until I have to call directly from my iPhone. Let’s see if they can get both of these things fixed in the very near future.
