Iphone Battery Life: 2 years then screwed
Every other phone: replaceable battery



Why didnt they compare it to the Tytn? Or any other phone thats in a similar form factor?]]>Jun 18th 2007 9:36AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/iphone-to-feature-eight-hours-of-talk-new-glass-surface/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/iphone-to-feature-eight-hours-of-talk-new-glass-surface/Jun 18th 2007 10:52AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/iphone-to-feature-eight-hours-of-talk-new-glass-surface/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/iphone-to-feature-eight-hours-of-talk-new-glass-surface/Jun 18th 2007 9:41AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/iphone-to-feature-eight-hours-of-talk-new-glass-surface/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/iphone-to-feature-eight-hours-of-talk-new-glass-surface/Jun 18th 2007 9:42AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/iphone-to-feature-eight-hours-of-talk-new-glass-surface/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/iphone-to-feature-eight-hours-of-talk-new-glass-surface/Jun 18th 2007 3:45PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/iphone-to-feature-eight-hours-of-talk-new-glass-surface/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/iphone-to-feature-eight-hours-of-talk-new-glass-surface/Jun 18th 2007 10:45AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/iphone-to-feature-eight-hours-of-talk-new-glass-surface/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/iphone-to-feature-eight-hours-of-talk-new-glass-surface/Jun 18th 2007 10:49AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/iphone-to-feature-eight-hours-of-talk-new-glass-surface/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/iphone-to-feature-eight-hours-of-talk-new-glass-surface/
I'll take my Treo 750 with lots of 3rd party goodness & UMTS/HSDPA anyday - and with that, who needs WiFi?

I will love to hear the sounds of iPhones shattering when people sit on them because they forgot it was in their back pocket. ]]>Jun 18th 2007 11:18AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/iphone-to-feature-eight-hours-of-talk-new-glass-surface/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/iphone-to-feature-eight-hours-of-talk-new-glass-surface/
As far as form factor goes, the iPhone and the blackjack don't look too far off. At least in terms of the thickness and overall size. Screen size and touchscreen are another matter. I think that when you compare it to something like the tytn is close to the thickness of the treo.

And the dedicated media buttons - how is that even a good thing? Yay! waste some more damn space on the phone at the expense of either the phone size or the screen size, w00t!


Just my .03 cents :)]]>Jun 18th 2007 3:32PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/iphone-to-feature-eight-hours-of-talk-new-glass-surface/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/iphone-to-feature-eight-hours-of-talk-new-glass-surface/Jun 18th 2007 4:22PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/iphone-to-feature-eight-hours-of-talk-new-glass-surface/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/iphone-to-feature-eight-hours-of-talk-new-glass-surface/Jun 18th 2007 4:54PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/iphone-to-feature-eight-hours-of-talk-new-glass-surface/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/iphone-to-feature-eight-hours-of-talk-new-glass-surface/Jun 19th 2007 10:28AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/iphone-to-feature-eight-hours-of-talk-new-glass-surface/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/iphone-to-feature-eight-hours-of-talk-new-glass-surface/
Bullshit.

Nokia E61 = 9.5 hours talk time, 19 days standby
Sony Ericsson P910i = 13 hours talktime and nearly 17 days standby
Sony Ericsson P1 = 10 hours talktime and over 18 days standby

Just a few examples from many. And some wonder why people get sick of Apples rhetoric...]]>Jun 18th 2007 11:50AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/iphone-to-feature-eight-hours-of-talk-new-glass-surface/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/iphone-to-feature-eight-hours-of-talk-new-glass-surface/

you have to look at the positives, happy faces!

Well, arent those the most popular phones its being compared to, also?]]>Jun 18th 2007 2:38PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/iphone-to-feature-eight-hours-of-talk-new-glass-surface/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/iphone-to-feature-eight-hours-of-talk-new-glass-surface/Jun 18th 2007 3:20PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/iphone-to-feature-eight-hours-of-talk-new-glass-surface/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/iphone-to-feature-eight-hours-of-talk-new-glass-surface/
The most important number there is the video playback/internet usage. That's how long a fully charged iPhone can keep the display turned on with a new battery. These numbers will get worse with each charge cycle. That screen is the power hog.

FWIW, I have found through experience in owning many Apple products that Apple usually overestimates battery life by about 100%.]]>Jun 18th 2007 3:31PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/iphone-to-feature-eight-hours-of-talk-new-glass-surface/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/iphone-to-feature-eight-hours-of-talk-new-glass-surface/

Is just the freedom to change your battery too much to ask? What's the point of not being able to do it...sounds like Apple wanting more money to me.]]>Jun 18th 2007 4:36PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/iphone-to-feature-eight-hours-of-talk-new-glass-surface/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/iphone-to-feature-eight-hours-of-talk-new-glass-surface/Jun 18th 2007 8:35PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/iphone-to-feature-eight-hours-of-talk-new-glass-surface/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/iphone-to-feature-eight-hours-of-talk-new-glass-surface/
They really went for the "nitty gritty" and their desperation is obvious. I mean seriously, c'mon "display surface:" WHO THE HELL COMPARES THAT??

I am just surprised they didn't go: Camera of 2MP resolution iPhone- Yes; N95-No.

Ironic how "iPhone" can be easily rearranged to become "Phonei" (phonetically, phoney), no?]]>Jun 18th 2007 9:29PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/iphone-to-feature-eight-hours-of-talk-new-glass-surface/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/iphone-to-feature-eight-hours-of-talk-new-glass-surface/
What can I say, I am a techno-whore.

BTW, I am totally getting the Meizu miniOne, too. Again, who's with me?!]]>Jun 18th 2007 9:38PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/iphone-to-feature-eight-hours-of-talk-new-glass-surface/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/iphone-to-feature-eight-hours-of-talk-new-glass-surface/
Aye man I'm wit cha man! I gotta have them both. I am a tech-a-holic. The first step is admitting my addiction but there is no patch for this thing man and no gum that's gonna curb this thing. The iphone wil merely take the edge off..... for a while. Then when the Meizu drops..... I'll have that too! I gotta get to those meetings man.......]]>Jun 18th 2007 10:39PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/iphone-to-feature-eight-hours-of-talk-new-glass-surface/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/iphone-to-feature-eight-hours-of-talk-new-glass-surface/Jun 18th 2007 10:42PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/iphone-to-feature-eight-hours-of-talk-new-glass-surface/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/iphone-to-feature-eight-hours-of-talk-new-glass-surface/Jun 25th 2007 12:03PM
