I hope battery life improves…
Hm. Maybe it’s me but my batteries seem to be draining really fast on my iCoolness. I know I’m using it a lot and even though I’ve turned the brightness down a bit it still seems to be sucking energy rather quickly. The problem is that let’s say you go look for a restaurant:
You hop onto the Google maps, type in the city, type in the name, then try calling them. Hm, too early for a reservation? Let me try OpenTable.com. So I click around in Safari to try to find it and after a few minutes of browsing I’m clearly not seeing a way to make a reservation. I switch back to maps, make a contact out of the restaurant name and wait a few minutes. I call them back, this time I get someone and I put down my reservation. Great. Now I trade a few SMSes with friends I’m meeting there, and finally end up calling one of them.
All in all I probably spent about 20 minutes on the iExpensive trying to do this complete restaurant booking. And that drained like maybe 15% of my battery life right there. As an iPod it actually has really decent battery life. But as an Internet device it’s limited.
I hope in v2 of the phone they either have a way to pop in spare batteries or they find a way to upgrade the battery life.
