Oh, to make it futher scientific. Make sure to charge your phone fully, then use it on only wifi, i.e. connect to your wifi network and don't leave the house with it, until the battery runs out. Mark the hours. Then recharge the phone fully and turn off the wifi. Mark the hours it takes for the battery to run out.

After having the captive battery die on my 20gb ipod, I vowed never to own a phone with a non replaceable battery.  F that!

I've replaced batteries in just about every version of the ipod except for the iphone/touch. It's an easy operation if you want to do it.

phone is up and running.  now I've gotta jailbrake this pregnant dog.  So far the battery usage kicks ass. 

I get that its possible, just not convenient. 

HTC evo 4 is the phone Im about to buy, will be getting extra battery and seperate charger.

My sis has the new iphone and loves it.  I have yo admit the iphone's dimensions are nicer than the newest droids.

That held me back on the droid.

It felt like a big ole brick in my hand

Yea, they are huge and seemingly vulnerable.  We'll see how it holds up.....if I can ever find one!

Battery Test #1

With Wifi on so
Usage - 3 hours, 13 minutes
Standby 12 hours, 48 minutes

70% battery remaining

This was with phone calls, some web browsing, some texting and some e-mails.

The usage time applies to any time that the phone is being used for anything.

I did not play any music or games today with the phone. I have a ipod dock in my car so any music played would have been charging the battery at the same time.

I will leave the phone in the rest of the night to see where we are at the 24 hour mark.

Wow, that is impressive.


Can you do the same test with the wifi off for me?


You can decline if you want, I am just curious.

If you do this and incur some data cost, I'll paypal you some money.


Curiosity has struck me on this one.


I wonder what Apple has done that RIM hasn't with the WIFI feature.

CB:

I will do it next week for you. It is no problem really.

Please Paypal 11tyb $$$

I actually want to see this battery test (no wifi) for myself as well. It might be better to leave the wifi off except when i am going to download something. So far my data usage is only a few MB anyway.

Expect that 11tyb $$ when Warren Buffet and Bill Gates decide to will me their money instead of donate it to charity.

Odds are that will never happen 

I'd probably blow it all on motorcycles, guns, buying motorcycle forums, and chainsaws
