i'm not a tester for the phone, i'd have no facts to be able to back up any cliams that i've made, any reviews that i could read would not be facts unless there was some sort of peer review to ensure that it was unbiased.
I'm not trying to post facts. my claims that they are not accurate are based on the fact that the posted times for the battery life are for paticular functions for the phone, and none of their battery life figures actualy attest for the actual USE of the phone. So i still stand by that their claims for battery life are not an accurate representation of how much battery life you can exspect to get from your phone durring daily use.
there is a difference between thinking criticaly about something and trying to pass reason off as fact. While you may think my post is the latter i assure you it is not. It is only to bring up points of investigation for the phone.
according to nomenstevens it'll last through the day, which in my oppinion is crappy for a cell phone. I'd like to know that i'll have more than a day's range away from an electrical socket. --- But let me make you aware, i am compairing the iphone to the average cell phone, that i won't use for email, or music, or movies. You might claim this is unfair, that i'd have to only regard the battery life for the iphone's talk time and not include the other functions of the phone when comparing it to a device that is only going to perform talk time opperations... To bad, i'm not going to do that, and i'll tell you why: You payed $500 for the iphone, if you say you're going to compair continuous talk times with the average cell phone and the continuous talk times of the iphone, to make it fair, allow the regular cell phone (lets just say it's a $100 phone for this) to have $400 worh of extra batteries.
with all that being said, here is a list of why the iphone still sucks:
Exclusivly on ATT: If you don't get good service from ATT in your area, no matter how bad you want it, it's not worth it.
Unless you are in a wifi zone, the internet is encredbly slow, slower infact that other ATT phones with internet capability
The battery is not removable... do you recall the complaints about the ipod? glad Jobs addressed that issue
Glass: dropped phones = cracked displays
No MMS picture messaging
No Flash (for if you ever do get on the internet)
- Also no Java
No video recording
No instant messaging
No songs as ringtones
No GPS
and finally ipod/apple bandwagon people
but who really care right?
