The problem is 3G is a battery hog. Just turn off 3G and the iPhone will drop down to the same speed as the old Blackberry you love and you'll get double the battery life. If you are happy getting email every 15 minutes instead of absolutely definitely within seconds of it being sent, turning off Push increases your battery life even more. -Mart Olivier,

I did and went back to BB for one and only reason: the battery sucks! especially if you use push mails. Unless they solve this issue I really don't see how the Iphone can pretend to compete with BB for professionals. Too bad...once again i love the device but got tired of looking for a plug.

I think the email experience is much better on the iPhone and my 3-year-old daughter has learned that saying "What else is there to play?" miraculously causes more icons to appear for her entertainment. All in all, I am happy with the switch. If Apple ever decides to build a working phone into this device, I will be ecstatic. I too am a recent convert from CrackBerry to iPhone, just a few weeks in.

I had to make a promise to not bring it during my last son's birth even though it was a c-section. I don't think I am ready for the break up yet, since the Blackberry Bold looks mighty fine. I'll keep my eye out for more updates. Maggie PS--photo is perfect! Your post made me laugh, especially during childbirth.
