8:00 a.m.--I unplug my iPhone after a full charge and reset the usage stats. I really want to try the 2.0.1 upgrade but figure that, for the sake of science, I should at least run without it for one more charge just to get another comparison of battery life and reception without 3G. I also decide to break out the i760 and see how it does in terms of battery life. It has a full charge, and I turn on Bluetooth. I'll leave BT on 24/7. The i760 is still set for push e-mail on my firm's Exchange server. Other than that, I don't think I have anything else that will automatically pull data from the net. I still haven't figure out, though, how I'm going to make sure that I use the iPhone and the i760 for the same amount of time. Anyone remember the number to call to get the time (if I make a call on the iPhone, I can always use the i760 to call for the time and just let the call hang there until I hang up the iPhone
)? Also, anyone know of a freeware program that will track data and phone usage on a WM 6.1 device?
I just checked my wife's iPhone. Remember, I unplugged hers and mine about the same time 2 days ago. I had to charge mine last night. Her's is now showing about 80% battery life left, but she has only used hers for 2 hours and 32 minutes (I used mine for nearly 8 hours), and her call time is only 14 minutes. Her data is 201KB sent and 1.5MB received.
8:30 a.m. (appx.)--A few minutes before I arrive at my office, I call my wife just to see if the call drops when I pull into my parking spot. It does NOT!
8:53 a.m.--I am
very impressed with AT&T's customer service. As promised, someone just called me to see how my reception is now that I've turned off 3G. If only AT&T's 3G coverage was as good as its customer support....
More later today....
