The worst thing about the iPhone is AT&T.

mine blows but its been in the field with me a lot also

This is why I'm sticking with low end phones.. for some reason quality is still there, but it's relative. :/

Also, Sprint sucks, ATT sucks, Verizon sucks, T Mobile sucks..

And T-mobile was going to buy Sprint..

i think for most people i know with the iphone it is a love/hate thing. they love the features but hate the battery life and the fact that they break easily.

Basically.

Mine seems to last longest if it gets charged while turned off with the outlet charger rather than the computer or car charger.

I agree with the love/hate thing..I don't think RIM will ever catch up to the APP Store and I don't know how Apple will get it under control but the APPS are sick if you are a geek.

I have found turning off the 3G will conserve a lot of battery. With it off I can still talk to our exchange server and call and play tunes. I just turn it on when I browse.

My wife has one, and she uses it for EVERYTHING, she HAS TO charge her phone EVERY NIGHT, or its dead before she gets out of the drive in the morning.

I got a call from ATT last Thursday. She told me that I need to switch to an unlimited everything plan because right now my bill this month is 1200.00 and while we were on the phone I brought up my account on-line and she was right. (My son will be the end of me)

They actually called to tell me that so she could save me over 800.00, She said I could switch back the following week if I wanted but I would be a fool not to do it. She's right of course. I called to switch back and they had no problem with it.

THAT is a good company.

Good company, but you're probably getting raped with that plan compared to one on Verizon or Sprint. And (at least in my towns) their coverage a garbage. Half the time my friends'll have data but no voice coverage or vice versa.
