On the Apple.com it says in the tech specs that it only has 5 hours of talk/browse time? Does that mean it will only stay on for 5hours at a time? It did say it had 16 hours of music listening though. I'm just hoping it can make it through a day...
I guess that depends on what you mean by "stay on." Like any phone, when you are actually using it (vs having it in stand-by) it will use a lot more power. I am sure the battery will last more than a day in stand-by mode.Does that mean it will only stay on for 5hours at a time?
For a smart phone, I agree. I just did a quick check and the found the following:The POS that Sprint/nextel gave me says it only has 3.5 hours of talk time. I think 5 hours is pretty good!
According to Apple's site, the iPhone will get up to 16 hours of audio playback.its 5 hours of talk time what about listening to music, how long then?
Also, there is Solio which is a solar charger for your iPod. I hope it works for the iPhone. Would be nice to be on the beach charging it huh?5 hours of talk time is great. Figure School/classes take place over roughly 6 hour period of time. So Charge while you sleep and put it on when you get home. Also buy a car charger. Charge it whenever you are driving around.
that will be sad if this phone can do all these great thing but no battery to support it, i hope it will last a long timeOn the Apple.com it says in the tech specs that it only has 5 hours of talk/browse time?

I wouldn't panic about this at all. According to Macworld:I hate to feed the battery life panic, but I haven't heard or read anything about being able to turn off the bluetooth radio. It'd be nice. I'd certainly not be using it that frequently, and it'd save the juice for other needs.

Seems logical that if I can turn off all wireless, I can turn off some wireless. Thoughts?And for travelers, there’s a selection in the iPhone’s settings called Airplane Mode. Activating it turns off all the radios inside the iPhone (cellular, Bluetooth, and WiFi), making it safe to use the iPod and PDA features while in flight.
Thanks. The MacWorld article you referenced doesn't address the battery life at all, but it did make an interesting read back in January.I wouldn't panic about this at all. According to Macworld:

I don't think that quite follows. I can separately turn off BT on my Treo, but that's because there's a Bluetooth application whose interface allows me to. Can't be done without the right UI or the right switch. Since GSM and BT are separate radios, since BT can be independently disabled on other Apple computers, and since Apple & everyone else knows that battery power on a mobile device is precious, I'd hope that they'd make it that way. No evidence either way yet.Seems logical that if I can turn off all wireless, I can turn off some wireless. Thoughts?
