I hear the iPhone has a short battery. Wondering how people work around that. Do you use battery extenders what?

It's true, gone are the days where you phone can last 5-7 days without a recharge.

I charge mine on my dock at work normally. Makes me look uber cool too.

I'm still using a 2G w810i and its gets 4~5 days its about 1.5 yrs old. But I guess newer phones with a large screen, 3G, Wifi and all the other stuff it kicks the stuffing out a battery. The OH has a 6300 and that does last more than a day being a slimline phone.

At the end of the day, you still need a phone thats going to be able to make a call when you need it. Nothing worse than running out the door only, needing the phone to meet someone, to realise it has no battery life. Ditto your MP3 player. I bought the w810 to use as a MP3 player, but stopped once I realised it savaged the battery. If the device is useful enough you'll just accept the battery life limitations. I'm trying to find out what is the reality for most people. I usually at a computer during the working day so charging is no problem. Its just good to be informed before buying something.

Can you get Apple Care for the iPhone? I can't see it on the Apple site.
