Why do people do this? Check your usage time, there's no way you can use the phone non stop for 8 hours, even Apple doesn't claim that-xxxxxx.
I didn't say I used the phone non-stop for eight hours. I simply stated that I used it heavily over the course of eight hours without any issues regarding battery life.
Let me further simplify for you, my friend. I spent all day, touting its features to anyone who asked, watching videos, exchanging several e-mails, browsing the web on wifi and on EDGE, playing it through my car's stereo while driving, as well as making a few phone calls. That all started at 10:00AM this morning. It is now 9:15PM and my battery is at roughly 65% remaining.
Now that I've clarified the basis for my previous comment to the thread, let's talk about those communication skills of yours.
Nobody has a defective battery.
I'm a former employee of the Apple Store. No one is tired of people complaining about batter issues (a la iPods) than I am. However, defects DO happen and with more than 700,000 iPhones sold over the weekend, I dare not say that "Nobody has a defective battery."
It should also be noted that I'm a former Blackberry user. Now, anyone who has used one will be the first to tell you that the battery life is phenomenal. I could go three days with heavy use on my 8700 without even needing to charge. I wasn't expecting that kind of longevity out of my iPhone. I don't think anyone who made an educated purchase on Friday expected that either. However, when I originally stated that I hadn't had any problems with the "shorter" battery life of the iPhone, I was simply trying to make the point that there's no need to panic. Yes, the battery life is shorter than other, more feature simplistic phones. My bottom line was that it is possible to have a perfectly reasonable window of time with which to enjoy the full features of your iPhone without needing to be constantly tethered to an electrical outlet.
If I find something I really dislike about my iPhone, I'll be the first to post it, mkay sweetpea?
Then again, I'm not a genius like you seem to be, so you'll rarely find me speaking in such extremes. Call me a humble plebeian, if you wish. I'm only here to try and answer other people's questions and get a few of my own resolved. Obviously, you came to be a ****.
Now, back to more productive discussions. I hope you enjoy your iPhone, my friend.
