How long is the average battery life for a days work with the iPhone 3g? Under normal use I seen to be charging every night. I had the Blackberry Storm for 3 and a half weeks and I charged that phone every other day.

I charge my iPhone every day for the most part.

You probably go through your iPhone battery faster than the BB because there's so much more to do on it!! =D

I know if for whatever reason I have a few days where I don't use my phone for much other than sms and a few emails, I can last a few days without charging.

The iPhone is so much fun, I barely but the dang thing down, and that means I wear it out the battery every day, sometimes more quickly.

If only it had a worse interface, ecosystem, and usability...

I totally agree!!!

Yeah, I used to charge it daily. But after I got the car charger, I usually have half the battery left by the end of the day.

I decided to shell out the $$$ for the InCase Power Slider. It's the best move I could have made. I charge it overnight and then put the iPhone in it in the morning before work. Even under HEAVY (3g, WiFi and Blutetooth ALWAYS on) usage I don't deplete the slider and switch over to the iPhone's internal battery until late in the evening.

It was definitely worth the price.

Good to know. You should take some pics and post them in the "accessories" section.

Actually there's a video available that does it better than I can. T'll find it real fast.

Here's the video that says it all and more. This is what made me decide to buy it.

This probably does belong under the Accessory Thread but have you seen the new Mophie juice pack air extended battery case. Looks really sharp and is only available for preorder. Go to mophie.com. I'm on my IPHONE so can't post a direct link. And back on the original topic, I charge every night.
