Yeah, turning off the wifi, 3G and location services seems to help (though Dawdler on PBF reckons the location services won't be draining it). Also makes sure she sets her mail to "fetch" rather than "push".

Using it as a phone, playing music/vids or play games doesn't seem to touch it. It's the constant communication with the outside world that really sucks down the juice.

Hit a button and it listens to the track and then tells you what it's called, who sang it, what album it's off, when it was released, where you can buy it (including itunes obv.) and a link to it on Jewtube. Offering it a random selection off the radio it got 5/5 successfully recognising an eclectic mix of Gloria Gaynor and the Pips, The Enemy, David Bowie, Lighthouse Family and some chart R&B cheesedick off Radio One (I had to check the Jewtube link on that cos I'd never heard of the cunt).


You got a Slade on your iPhone! Scary...

Sounds awesome though. :yay:

Do you have a holster for it too? Phone like that needs a holster.

No it goes in my pocket.

Phone holsters are for fags. Always have been.

If you have EVER clipped your phone to your belt I suggest you end yourself now.

I love mine. Turned off most of everything and mine lasts for days between charges. AT&T can suck one.

I've found the main thing to turn off is wireless and GPS. It's one of those two, not worked out which (though one would think it was the wireless), that fuckin kills the battery. Leave it on 3G and it's all good.

Still in love with mine.

I have my wireless on. Doesn't seem to cause an issue. I know that 3G kills the battery faster.

:lol: x2

It's kind of like buying a rainbow colored bumper sticker with "PRIDE" written on it. Nervous about coming out of the closet? Buy a holster, they'll know without you having had to say a word.

PS. Strange how a shitty phone can enhance peoples ego'es, until a newer breed of semiconductors in-a-box takes over. :lulz:

Now I'm being strangely attraced to the iPhone 3GS. Apparently, according to the AT&T website, having put up with my Razr (which I like by the way) for long enough, I can get one for $199.

And yes, that's really $215.65 with tax so it not quite showing $200 is purely psychological, but in a way it doesn't sound so bad.
