mophie's iPhone 3G Juice Pack unboxed and tested: high marks all around

Curious to know if your Benjamin will be well spent on mophie's iPhone 3G Juice Pack? TestFreaks is out to make sure you have an accurate answer to that, and judging by their report after two solid weeks of usage, the response is an emphatic "yes." Not only was the device sleek enough to not be incredibly cumbersome, but it actually performed as advertised. Reviewers were able to get their iPhone 3G from near-death to fully charged (twice!) on a single mophie charge, leading them to conclude that it "basically doubles the run time of the iPhone 3G" in a worse case scenario. Granted, even they couldn't overlook the particularly large price tag, but if you've been running bone dry with any level of frequency, we suspect the asking price won't matter nearly as much.

Plus the additional cost of discarding all of my cases that won't fit any longer?

Or, will it still fit in my Otter Box?

Someone should integrate a bluetooth chipset which is capable of all profiles in one of these battery cases.

Or Apple could be less useless, which is unlikely to ever happen.

Right, the iPhone is useless...Find me a 3G phone that has longer battery life. Being a long time WinMo user, I'm relieved by the iPhone - it simply works where WinMo has failed repeatedly. You, on the other hand, seem to be completely lost in hyperbole.

I've owned the juice pack for over a month now and find it to be the perfect car dock...and when travelling, it sits in my bag until it's needed.

Hey GodFail:

My HTC Touch HD has battery that lasts for a day and a half with heavy browsing wifi and bluetooth. I believe that's better than iphone 3G. Wow that wasn't so hard huh? I'm sure there are many more examples, by the way my failure of a phone can copy and paste, send MMS, and is an actual smartphone.
