plus, when i'm not enterprising... i'm cro-mag rallying or aurora feinting... which really drains the battery...

of course, when you go into the woods for an overnight hike... it's important to remember to bring things you need like tools to hunt and make fires with...

but when you use an iphone all day, no one thinks to bring a spare USB cable to charge and your friendly easily accessible USB point on nearly any computer.]]>Jul 16th 2008 1:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/16/iphone-3g-review-supplemental-battery-life-and-mobileme-tests/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/16/iphone-3g-review-supplemental-battery-life-and-mobileme-tests/Jul 16th 2008 11:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/16/iphone-3g-review-supplemental-battery-life-and-mobileme-tests/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/16/iphone-3g-review-supplemental-battery-life-and-mobileme-tests/
When i listen to music in the car, my iPhone is charging. when i plug my iPhone in at work and listen to podcasts or music, it's charging.

I literally have a dozen cables for my iPhone (remnants from other iPods) laying around my house. - and even if i didn't, i can grab one off ebay for $0.99 or monoprice for $4 shipped. ...and if i go to a friends house, and haven't charged my iPhone in too long, and don't have any cables, there's a damn good chance THEY have a cable i can use, because *everyone* owns an ipod.

...and that's all irrelevant, because i haven't yet needed to charge my iPhone other than the default over-night charge all my previous mobiles got. ]]>Jul 17th 2008 11:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/16/iphone-3g-review-supplemental-battery-life-and-mobileme-tests/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/16/iphone-3g-review-supplemental-battery-life-and-mobileme-tests/Jul 16th 2008 1:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/16/iphone-3g-review-supplemental-battery-life-and-mobileme-tests/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/16/iphone-3g-review-supplemental-battery-life-and-mobileme-tests/Jul 16th 2008 1:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/16/iphone-3g-review-supplemental-battery-life-and-mobileme-tests/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/16/iphone-3g-review-supplemental-battery-life-and-mobileme-tests/
I seem to be getting a fair bit more than that. Turn off "Wifi stumbling". Also, with 3G turned off, battery life is much better on this edition.]]>Jul 16th 2008 1:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/16/iphone-3g-review-supplemental-battery-life-and-mobileme-tests/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/16/iphone-3g-review-supplemental-battery-life-and-mobileme-tests/

It's also 3G (EVDO to be specific, but I wouldn't want to confuse the Apple people with technology, so I'll just say 3G from now on) and has been for over a year. Nice of you guys to buy an outdated phone, only to turn around and buy another outdated phone a year later.]]>Jul 16th 2008 2:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/16/iphone-3g-review-supplemental-battery-life-and-mobileme-tests/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/16/iphone-3g-review-supplemental-battery-life-and-mobileme-tests/
You have fun twiddling your little stick or ball, trying to be precise enough to navigate a web page or use additional non-phone features (like maps)... I'll just be here enjoying the great UX design.

(PS: All this being said, STFU Apple fanboys. Just because the device is well made does not give you the right to be a snobby ass: it's just a freakin' phone)]]>Jul 16th 2008 6:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/16/iphone-3g-review-supplemental-battery-life-and-mobileme-tests/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/16/iphone-3g-review-supplemental-battery-life-and-mobileme-tests/
seriously.

I've had an EVDO phone for a few years. so what? i'll tell you right now my iPhone 3G is leaps and bounds better than my old EVDO device.

being so condescending isn't really helping your case: it just makes you look like an asshole. ]]>Jul 17th 2008 11:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/16/iphone-3g-review-supplemental-battery-life-and-mobileme-tests/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/16/iphone-3g-review-supplemental-battery-life-and-mobileme-tests/Jul 16th 2008 1:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/16/iphone-3g-review-supplemental-battery-life-and-mobileme-tests/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/16/iphone-3g-review-supplemental-battery-life-and-mobileme-tests/Jul 16th 2008 1:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/16/iphone-3g-review-supplemental-battery-life-and-mobileme-tests/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/16/iphone-3g-review-supplemental-battery-life-and-mobileme-tests/The Calendar exchange syncing in Calendar only seems to happen when you first set it up and when you get new invitations. When I create appointments on my computer they do not push to my iPhone and there isn't a manual sync button.
Invitations to calendar appointments show up as maybe on the iPhone unless you accepted them on the iPhone.
So far I'm disappointed with the iPhone's implementation of Active Sync. These problems are going to convince my IT department to stick with RIM.]]>Jul 16th 2008 1:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/16/iphone-3g-review-supplemental-battery-life-and-mobileme-tests/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/16/iphone-3g-review-supplemental-battery-life-and-mobileme-tests/Jul 16th 2008 2:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/16/iphone-3g-review-supplemental-battery-life-and-mobileme-tests/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/16/iphone-3g-review-supplemental-battery-life-and-mobileme-tests/

This morning my mac/me.com email was down for several hours. It's my primary email. I was not a happy chappy. Formerly, in mac.com, there was a running list of the staus of the system. That's also gone.

After 3+ years of having 2 subscriptions to mac.com (about $800 worth) I am beyond annoyed at this horrendous "upgrade'. ]]>Jul 22nd 2008 5:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/16/iphone-3g-review-supplemental-battery-life-and-mobileme-tests/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/16/iphone-3g-review-supplemental-battery-life-and-mobileme-tests/Jul 16th 2008 1:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/16/iphone-3g-review-supplemental-battery-life-and-mobileme-tests/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/16/iphone-3g-review-supplemental-battery-life-and-mobileme-tests/Jul 16th 2008 1:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/16/iphone-3g-review-supplemental-battery-life-and-mobileme-tests/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/16/iphone-3g-review-supplemental-battery-life-and-mobileme-tests/Jul 16th 2008 1:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/16/iphone-3g-review-supplemental-battery-life-and-mobileme-tests/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/16/iphone-3g-review-supplemental-battery-life-and-mobileme-tests/Jul 16th 2008 1:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/16/iphone-3g-review-supplemental-battery-life-and-mobileme-tests/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/16/iphone-3g-review-supplemental-battery-life-and-mobileme-tests/

Even I who love Apples am finding that I am swayed by their comments. I don't think that I will buy an iPhone now.

It seems that the battery life is not good. The whole purpose of this phone is to use 3G, but the battery life is terrible with 3G. I don't want to have to switch it on and off all the time.

I think that having weighed up all the facts, and I have done a lot of research, I will skip that iPhone and go for an Android based phone or a Blackberry.

I need a phone that works. It seems that the iPhone doe not work.

I still have my first-gen and noticed a HUGE hit in battery life once I installed the 2.0SW. Most of it was due to my 15 minute mail check interval, but even with it on 1 hour the battery life seems less than I would have expected. It makes it thru the day, but it used to make it almost 3 days. I'll have to keep playing with the settings to see how I feel about the battery life. I wonder how the 3G compares; does it have a larger battery to compensate for the 3G power draw?]]>Jul 16th 2008 2:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/16/iphone-3g-review-supplemental-battery-life-and-mobileme-tests/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/16/iphone-3g-review-supplemental-battery-life-and-mobileme-tests/
