I iPhone 4S Usage Manifesto:
My battery life is "ok", but I am taking a stand and drawing a line in the sand. No longer will I turn off features only to increase battery life. Certainly I will turn them off if I have no need to use them (bluetooth, for example). And I have adjusted things like push mail and screen brightness... but enough is enough. I work from home and have access to a wall charger, car charger and external battery charger (Richard Solo), so I say "screw it", and I am going to use my phone, and all of it's neat, useful and awesome features. If I need to charge it more often, so be it.
I expect that Apple will release a patch/update to iOS 5 soon to address some of the battery issues, but it is, after all, a device that I bought to use, not just to charge it up and then "nurse" it through the day.
