Hello Simon and all: I will refrain from answering the question pertaining to battery life because that is a variable thing depending upon usage. I will leave that to others (smile).
However, in regard to messaging one of the things I like about the iphone as opposed to my Nokia is that I can follow the thread of a message all at once rather than open multiple messages to keep track of a message. That in my opinion is a nice feature. So, If I wanted milk, bread, and gatorade I can track the whole back and forth texting about the shopping trip to narrow down why mash potatoes came threw the door when I did not know they were coming ... LOL. I know that has never happened to anyone ...
