I can see how it looks that way. I did give the
Samsung Galaxy S2 (which I own) as an example too :))

I find that if I use something like Juice Defender
and then lock down everything it last a long
time...but that's a bit like having Ferrari F450
and then not driving it anywhere.

in my experience, only 3G data enabled makes a significant battery drain,
this is my single biggest gripe with my phone, why does having 3g data
enabled should drain so much battery if my phone is set not to do all this
social networking stuff, etc. apparently, it can be overcome with like
Juice defender, etc, but, surely a smart phone could have data on and
'snooze it' till needed on demand
I know what you mean. "Here's a great phone will
all these functions. 'Fraid it'll only last two

You should try it out. My experience is that
Safari is just purely dreadful. Others may beg to
differ.
