Guys, my iPhone failed me just now and i think this only happen with the 3.0 OS.
As i was travelled back from SG to KL and the whole journey took me around 5hours, thus for sure i was ipod-ing throughout the whole distance. But to my disappointment, the iPhone run out of juice in less than 3.5hours travelling time with 3G/edge totally disable.
Been fully charged the iPhone the night before and minimizing the usage on the day just to prepare for this journey. Who knows, it's still running out of juice. I used to do this previously with 2.2.1 OS and normally it will last till i'm reached home, or even no problem to standby till the next day.
Apple, what you did to the 3.0 OS? cant you don't compromise the feature vs the battery performance?
btw, how's the iPhone3GS battery performance? White to go or black to go? Will consider if the upgrade option from singtel is justify reasonable.
did you turn off push email? i notice because of out crappy phone coverage, if Mail.app starts to pull for emails and gets cut off due to poor signal, it will continue to "search & pull" and keep the radio on hence draining the battery. i notice that when i launch mail.app and force kill it then problem solved. it happened with 2.2.1 but i notice less with 3.0 now.

i kinda heard dec oso by maxis staff..but well, since singtel launchin nxt week, we keep our fingers crossed dat it wil be launched soon n overcome the heat prob

p/s i doubt maxis staff will kno bout top secret launch dates

If true this is again in my opinion another stupid move similar to launching the iPhone 3G in March/ April 09. By Dec, everybody who wanted a 3GS would probably have got their hands on an unlocked model already. Those left behind might be stuck with their 2 year contract with maxis and unable to upgrade.
Am seriously considering HK/AU/NZ model if no word from maxis withiin july...
