    If you are charging all night and only get 96% something is definitely wrong. Do you reset your phone once in a while? If you dont give it a try; good luck.

    My iPhone 3GS battery is absolute garbage nowadays. That or an Unlocked iPhone on T-Mobile uses the internet 24/7. Well anyways, my iPhone 3GS battery last at most 5 hours on standby - so yes, put my iPhone to shame iPhone 4. :)

    According to a couple quick googles:

    iPhone 4: 9.3 mm
    Samsung Vibrant: 9.9 mm

    So, yes iPhone 4 is thinner.

    yup jailbreaking your phone does take more battery life that i noticed almost imediately cauz i have things like,themes,tweaks customizations and stuff that keep taking up battery power

    i have an iphone 3gs and im still happy on how long it last,which is 1 full day through moderate use like listening to music playing a few games, using the web and stuff. So those of you say battery life is ****, thats either cauz your not managing your battery life well enough or theres something wrong with your iphone anyway don't post stupid bullshit like standby last for 5 hours

    After using iphone4 because of many things inc. battery life I sold IT. Now i use HTC Desire and battery life is much better but not perfect. If you use it heavy 3G emailing it lasts 18 hours less or more. Other lasts 2-3 days. Actually i never ever buy any iphone even its the Best phone ever made not only battery life but discusting itunes, also hated bluetooth (not toshare even your pics yountook)and also nightmare for mp3 and also another nightmare i lived for sim contacts can. ot copy phone to sim so all new added contacts i write down and write it back to my new phone. So unless the sim thing, bluetooth and itunes thing never ever use iphone again. its rearlly was my best nightmare in my life...

    you might try powering it down when you see the battery draining like that. It could be an app running in some background mode that's doing something like trying to find your location.

    I had one day where I noticed, even though I was not using the phone, that the battery was draining at an almost visible rate. Powering it down and back up again stopped this mystery drain.

    Anyone notice that in the video they never touch the antenna I wonder if there I'd a reason for that?

    Since Steve Jobs made a big deal out of "holding it wrong", he would be criticized after telling customers to "avoid holding it that way" and the holding it inappropriately in the commercial. I'm sure antennagate is the first thing they fixed in new iPhone 4's

    maybe because you charge the phone all night long. that will kill your battery life. your not suppose to overcharge your battery. as soon as it hits 100 take it off charging

    I think ignorance is what runs down the battery! I have a friend who claimed his 3GS wasn't lasting a day, I knew this was wrong because I sold him it when I bought the iPhone 4. turns out he had 20+ apps running in the background, one of which was Tom Tom, say no more! the iPhone 4 battery lasts around 3 days, whereas the 3GS is around 2 days. I could hardly manage a day on my 2G which goes to prove that Apple are improving the battery life each release.

    In regards to the batter life on the 3g and IP4, I had major issues trying to reduce the apps running in the background,
    This may be due to the phone being Jail broken.
    I eventually found an app on Cydia which, in my opinion has given my phone, pardon the pun, a new respring of life..
    The app i am referring to is 'AUTO3G'.
    This application once configured, will run the basic radio signals when not in use.
    Thus considerably saving the battery life through out the day and night.
    It does cost a few dollars but worth every cent especially on a 3g phone 'Pimped out t the max'
    I hope this helps those who have had their 3g consistently attached to a wall charger
