Engadget claimed 36 hours on a single charge with moderate usage. What is everyone seing? this is a huge sellng point for me and I am wondering if its performing as advertised. Sound off!!

I recieved mine yesterday and took it home and it charged while I synced it with Itunes. This was around 5 o'clock, I played around with it for most of the night and did not charge it over night and this morning I am probably sitting around 80% charge left. Battery life seems to be much better.

I fully charged mine and took it off the charger around 3pm yesterday. I have been using the he'll out of it in an attempt to run the battery down. I didn't charge it overnight as well as leaving Wi-Fi on an apps running to try to kill the battery some more. It's 8:30am now and I'm at 40%. That's pretty impressive in my book. I'm completely satisfied with battery performance so far.

WHat apps did you keep running and how do you know whats running and whats not so I dont end up leaving apps running when I dont want to?
There isnt any indicator to show whats running versus what you've opened recently and I'm a bit confused over it.

I'm wondering how the battery life compares with the 3GS, with WiFi turned on. Anyone got any good comparisons for that, please?! It seems like my 3GS is draining completely every day, since installing iOS4.

I fully charged mine around 11 am yesterday and played with it most of the day, made several phone calls, left wifi on, and only go down to about 56%. Way better than my 3g.

nice, does the phone feel heavier, lighter, or about the same?

This is because you can't make phone calls with the phone holding issue. Thus increasing battery life

OMG!!!! Reason enough to buy one!

It seems to be the same for me. I haven't noticed a decrease or increase. Today will be the first full day of testing.
