Thanks for the suggestions. I've also got a cheap charger (not USB) that just goes into the mains and I'll have a look at its power setting before trying it out.
I think that my expectations on battery life are probably aspirational - I've previously run basic Nokias which seem to last about five days on standby without charging. Although I understand that the iPhone battery is so advanced it does not need calibrating, I did give it a good charge when it came out of the box but it does not seem to be able to go beyond about 36 hours on standby. What is reasonable battery duration following a full charge to expect from an iPhone?
