After 1 week of iPhone ownership...

[paddymph]

I'm completely won over. It is pretty amazing.

I wasn't entirely convinced by the previous phones and stuck with Nokia, I just love this 4 though. I can't see how I'd ever use any other phone now? It's just so handy and really does make life easier. I'm dreading the day I drop or scratch it!?

Apps so far that I'm very impressed with;

Shiftworker - Dead handy this if you work shifts, works our your rota for the year, can export, personalse..all free.
Runkeeper - This is free at the min, it has preloaded work outs, uses GPS, works out all your stats, well impressed!

Other than that I've got the usual quick games, Flixtster, Urbanspoon, Redlaser, VoucherCloud. Seriously could spend all day reading that App thread above.

I've had no signal issues at all and pretty impressed with battery too.

Apple FTW, never thought I'd say it. Just annoyed I never got one earlier...

 

[Truffs]

Im the same had blackberry for years and tride it last year wont be without now

 

[danzman1991]

come back in a couple of months and see whether you're still impressed with the battery!

 

[Christopher]

Welcome.

 

[DrR]

Love my one day of battery.

 

[Mr Pants]

Battery is decent.

 

[danzman1991]

naaa

 

[Revels]

It is. There's no denying that.

The days of a battery lasting a week are long gone. You can't have a phone that does everything and expect it to last like a shitty old Nokia that just calls and texts. Same goes for any smartphone.

 

[Justin]

You'll never go back now, everything else feels clunky and slow in comparison.

Mine is alot worse than is was 3 months ago.

 

[Gally]

I still haev my berry till my upgrade in march/april time but i've said it for a long time apple really have got it susses there is no doubting it all.

My missus 3gs is just so so so simple yet does everythihng perfect!

It's just an ideal phone, the apps make the phone of course but it's ease of use are out of this world and will never be beaten imo.

Exactly. You can't have all that epicness and a never ending battery. Although the Macbooks do have a crazy battery life but that's a different matter lol.

My battery lasts the same as it did when new. I'm never far from a computer anyway so can always charge via USB if required.

 

[CrippsCorner]

Is amazing tbh I couldn't do without it now, but the battery is s**t. Needs charging everyday and even 25% won't hold a night out...

 

[Sym0n]

The battery on my 4 still amazes me everyday. I f**king rinse my phone from 6 am through till about 11pm. 3G, wifi, iPod, facebook, twitter, texts, email, phone calls, random pictures of my stupid boss being a mong etc and it's still rarely less than 30% by the time I'm putting it back on charge over night.

Now my Blackberry, that had a s**t battery. Stick it on 2G, turn off wifi and hardly use it...dead by lunch.

 

[.Simon]

I have had no issues with the battery, if it's lasting for 1 day - it's fucked. Take it back.

 

[Munson]

My battery will easily last three days of moderate use of just calls and texts. Obviously if I'm using it heavily, then I'll charge it pretty much every night. It's definitely a little better than the battery life I got from form my pauper 3GS, and was ok for me. Do some people expect a device of that power, driving the world's best mobile device touchscreen, to get a week's standby? PMSL. Basically what revels's said.

 

[Gaz.]

I've been charging daily for years, so that won't change a thing when I get one.

 

[Fletcher]

I've never had a iPhone battery run dead on me.

Every night I plug it in.... Simples!

 

[LowLife.]

I have just come back to the fold! Just bought one and picked it up tonight! 32gb of white lovliness!

Does that not knacker the battery, i don't charge mine unless it's completely flat unless i have no choice.

 

[Tunst]

Hate mine with a passion. im stuck with the fucker till next year -.-

 

[Fletcher]

No mate. I did every night when I had my 3GS and I've done the same with my iPhone 4 since late june without any probs.

 

[BRUN]

you need Angry Birds in your life !

 

[Gareth]

iPhones are awesome, simples.

 

[jenic]

I just bought a docking radio alarm clock when i got mine, so just pop it in everynight.

Rarely run out of battery, usually goes in on a night at about 40%. A particularly boring day at work can sometimes drain it, especially youtube and that, but I carry a usb cable with me so its no problem

 

[LowLife.]

Docking alarm clock sounds ace!

What have you gone for Mike?

 

[jenic]

Nothing special, just this logitech one: http://www.play.com/Electronics/Ele....html?_$ja=tsid:11518|cat:8114505|prd:8114505

It tells the time which you can see in the dark, sounds my iphone alarm through it speakers really loud which i need and charges it. Think it was £30/£40 in tesco, just saw it a couple of days after getting the phone and had a genius moment lol

 

[LowLife.]

I need to sort out a case for my new toy, any suggestions?

 

[SC03OTT]

Get a bumper.

 

[jenic]

Cases are for gays tbqfh. Never liked them.

 

[Knuckles]

im exactly the same, got mine around the 14th dec, havent been off it since... its soooooo good ha

 

[LowLife.]

Lol, I didn't have one on my last one! Just wouldn't mind looking after this one a bit better!

You still dont have an iPhone. f**king hell you northerners do live in the past...

 

[Liquid yellow 182]

Wish there was someway to check if the battery was still operating as it should be because since the last update my battery don't seem as good as it was, today i've been at work all day so hardly used it and it was charging all night and got home at 8 and its on 69% and I've hardly used it! ah well.

 

[jenic]

Edit, read it wrong, oops

 

[CrippsCorner]

Only had my phone five months, usually wait until it's in the red before giving it a full charge. iPod takes no battery at all, literally hours and hours of play at nearly full volume will take like 3% off the battery...

But, when I leave it at night, nothing running, no texts or calls, it'll completely die. We're talking 30%+ gone in 6 hours of standby, wtf?

Is someone sneaking into my room and using my phone at night lol? By the way I shut down all my apps before I go to bed.

 

[andywright182]

Sold my '4' for a desire HD. best move I made. glad to see the back of it. No doubt will be tempted back with the 5 however

Definitely something not right there. While on standby overnight my iPhone will use no more than 7% battery.

 

[Mr Pants]

Yeah that does sound like an issue. Unless you don't realise that you make loads of calls in your sleep lol.

I think mine is more around 8-12% during 7-8 hours of sleep when on standby.
