I've experienced a few problems with my battery life and I've set my mail to pull every hour, although I leave 'push' on, turn off WiFi, turn off 3G, turn off Bluetooth. These are the typical things that you can do to combat these problems. However, something else that can happen is that applications can sometimes hang and they continue to churn and use battery. I experienced this over a Saturday where I checked my mail twice over the course of six hours and had to recharge twice as well. You can try rebooting the phone and that will usually clear up that issue. The other thing is that you may just have a bad battery. If you can make it to an Apple Store and talk to one of their 'Geniuses', they can do a diagnostic on it and make sure that you don't have a degraded battery. And I guess the other option is to get an external battery case like the InCase Power Slider, but I'd start with the other stuff first. Anyway, hope this helps.

I have a Blackberry Bold. The other day I was messing around with my son's iPhone and decided I would get one to see how it works. So far, I like it very much... EXCEPT battery life SUCKS! Took off full night charge this morning at 7am and already at 60%. Those of you that have iPhones.. what are you doing to help this? I have wifi off, Bluetooth off and just now set active sync to manual. - Bob Fronk ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
