that's pretty amazing cheesey, mine has displayed very different characteristics than what you describe

all apps off, 100% charge, go to bed, get up, i'm at like 60%

use it a bit on the way in to work, web browser, twitter, facebook, a few texts, within an hour of getting to work i'm getting "20% battery remaining" notices and i must recharge

i charge twice a day and then i'm pretty good, i don't feel 4.0.1 did much if at all for my battery life issue

other notes, i am on sprint, it is a 16gb black one

sirii sucks, man half the time i'm in a text, i click sirii instead of typing, i talk, it spins it's wheels for 30 seconds or so, then when it stops it's just blank?! wtf, this happens on wifi too so i don't think it's a network issue

opening apps is so much quicker than on the latest ipod touch for example, switching between apps is much snappier, major performance gains there, the camera is a much better camera as well, i feel it does a great job focusing and doing it quickly, great for quick point n shoot stuff

i really wonder if this site performs much quicker on it, i personally won't be going on here from a personal phone, but on the latest ipod touch this site really lags, even just trying to type a reply is a very painful process as there is an enormous amount of lag just waiting for each letter you typed to show up haha.......has anyone with an iphone 4s tried icmag on it?

Mines the same smokefrogg always charge overnight so when at work it 100% after some tweets and a bit of 'arsebook' etc its down to 75%...its a great phone but I have always struggled with battery life...I think turning down the 'brightness' helps.:dance013:

The Samsung Galaxy S2 is better than the iPhone. A friend got one recently and had a chance to play around on it, very nice phone

If you look around on tech review sites you will find most go for the S2 over the iPhone

Make sure to turn bluetooth off. From my experience that drains the battery fast. Turn the backlight down some if you are ok with it being a little dimmer. That is a battery drainer too. Gl
