If you can flatten the battery in half a day you have way too much time on your hands.

Lowest mine has ever been is 40% left after 1 day, admittedly it's never going to last a second day without a charge.

You're joking, my Bro's mobile is always running out. If you use it to play music, text, make calls and surf the net a bit - it wont last the day.

That's appaling, for comparison my HD (a similar phone with regards to screen size and what you can do with it) will last a day easily when going sightseeing for example (gps navigation, texts, music, calls, photos, web etc.), and 2-3 with general day to day stuff (music, calls, texts, and bit of web browsing).
 
i hate the iphone after playing with one for 10 mins. Its chunky, wierd to nav and u have to be a bit of a .... to own one. I can also add that after knowing Mr x plosion for aslong as i have, he is a rather large hypocrite.
 
When I had push email on my iPhone it would go flat at around 12:00 without me touching it. Full drain without a single call, email, tune or anything else.

What was the advice from Apple turn off 3g, WiFi, GPS etc. What is the point in a phone that you have to disable all the features to use it? The battery on them is appalling - I have a lot of email traffic but my blackerries all lasted a couple of days. any WinMo device has lasted more than a day. The iPhone I can't get a day from.

I am selling it (as soon as I can get a new device I want) but unfortunately I am tied into a 24 month business contract with O2 and their current lineup of non-Iphones is appalling.
 
iPhone is a big step backwards for mobile computing. Why? Because its App Store moves functionality away from the browser and into individual applications that only work on one platform. Most of the apps I've seen could instead just be well designed webpages which would not only work on the iPhone, but also on Symbian, WM, Android, WebOS and BB as well as on many featurephones. Rejection of Flash, Java and Python further serves to reinforce this. As a result, content providers are forced to abandon or poorly-serve other platforms as the App Store rather than a search engine is the place to go for information; websites will be punished for having an excellent website.

It's bad news for competition which, in the long-run, is generally bad news for consumers.
 
funny thread tittle :p
I like the iphone (although im a Nokia user) but hate people who worship the damn phone thinking its the best in the world! Features are so 2000-and-late

Good post :)
 
I actually think the UI looks cluttered which is very unlike apple. having 20 different icons on the screens isn't that great now as it was when it came out. Other phones have done much better (google and palm) with sleek UI.

In some ways apple are stuck with their way of doing it now while everyone else will breeze away.
 
Gotta laugh at someone that hates an inanimate object enough to stick an entire thread up about it.

I'm no lover of it myself even though I own one but as much as you hate it and apple. Anyone who's anyone has to admit that regardless of their marketing & sales strategy and even with the devices flaws, its cornered the market in terms of handsets sold and has now got every other manufacturer playing catchup.
 
I'm not a fan but I think I hate Winmo more :D (that's because I have one :()
Can't say I have ever really used 'copy & paste' though.

definitely. Anyone who has to post how much they hate it needs to 'get a life'. Obviously everyone has opinions but it's an inaminate object for heaven's sake. Move on.

I dislike Apple hardware due to the overpriced nature and the "chic" element that some people fall into the trap of. I will never buy myself anything Apple (other than fruit). My C905 does everything the Iphone does pretty much and did not cost me my soul at least not all of it.
