"What a disapoitnement the iPhone 3G is! The batery runs our after 4 hrs."
Pros: Applications that are being developed!
Cons: Battery life! What a hell! I will have to take my charger everywhere with me!
Summary: I can't believe how much Apple massed up with battery! iPhone 3G needs battery that is 3X capacity of the one that they have installed. If I am on the go I can't look for a place to plug my phone all the time! This is ridicules! I have bought this phone to use it and NOT to look at it! My iPhone lasts 4hrs of normal use at work! People it is noon and I have to charge it already! Are you kidding me??? I will try to get our of the contract and return this useless "hyped up peace of junk"! I am disgusted with the reviews on this and other tech-sites how bias they are! Only after the second iPhone came out they finely admit it that the first iPone had bad call quality and that it triangulation GPS was a nothing more but a joke! The keyboard also had issues that they didn't want to tell people! Are you guys getting paid by Apple??? I depend on you to tell us the truth about the product and I trusted you...now I have to pay for the stupid AT&T contract plus I have phone that is nearly useless! Thank you for not being honest with us! Hope Apple and Google pay pretty well!Updated
Read the reviews below! This meter hasn't change since first review! There is no way that with so many negative reviews this can still be 7 out of 10!

Dalmatian,
I had a HTC phone that would die after 4 hours myself but I found that if you turn off the Wi-fi and when your not on the internet the battery life will last up to a week.
