Iphone 3G Battery test

mickg007

Just got my Iphone a week now and just wondering how everyone else’s battery lasts for?

In a small test I did, I had a full charge and had everything switched off (wifi/3g/push) except Bluetooth (needed for the car) – made about 10 minutes of calls and same amount of texts and I got 24 hours before it died.

With a full recharge today I was streaming a radio station over 3G for about 80 minutes – battery dropped to 50% approx?? I take it that’s normal ?

How is everyone else behaving …. or is this normal ?

i cant see it getting the results these guys get

if i charge my phone on a sunday night, i wont have to charge again till tue night..unless im using a lot of surfing or streaming video..then ill only get 1 day...

at times when using the iphone as a phone and not so much a media device, u should get two days...

I get about two days. Usually I top up overnight though.
I switch off wifi except at home. 3G is always on. Bluetooth is never on.
My worst battery time was a one hour drive using maps. No juice....after an hour.
I went out and bought a car charger.
I'm not that bothered as I don't see it as a phone but as a pda sorta thing so I expect heavier battery drainage.
