I find the "usage times" are more relevant than standby. I believe it is possible to even get a week from a single charge just plainly leaving it on standby most of the time(did that once with iphone 3g on a sub-line).

Dont get me wrong tho, I do get about 6hrs with careful usage and I consider it an improvement to older iphones and android standards.

However in the event I decide to add in Msn with push just to see how well it holds up againts Bb as a messaging device... It suffers

Intensive gaming is definitely the worst

What I really wish was to use it without having to worry about battery dying on me.

Maybe I am just a real heavy user or perhaps am spoiled by the iPad's excellent battery life. But I am finding the ip4 battery to be a lil on the weak side still Imo.

Worth a thought. Any recommendations? I don't really fancy the kind that comes as a case. Seen an energizer one... Wonder anyone uses it here

Maybe my high usage could be due to it being a new toy... When I start delegating task between both devices, I doubt it will be as bad. Just finished charging before I head out for the night... love the short charge times tho
