Alongside the high price, the battery life on the forthcoming iPhone has been nothing to write home about. However, just 9 days before the US launch, Apple has addressed the problem by boosting battery life to 8-hours talk-time, up from the under-whelming 5 hours previously stated.
This is a smart move by Apple since a phone that keeps running out of juice, no matter how stylish, is just deadweight in your pocket.
So here’s what’s changed since the original specs were released: stand-by time [not previously stated] is now 250 hours or 10 days, music playback has been bumped from 16 to 24 hours, video playback from 5 to 7 hours and Internet access from 5 to 6 hours. Considering the news that 7 million Brits want an iPhone already, based on pretty much fashion reasons alone, regular, level-headed phone users might now be a little more interested too.
The company has also announced that the entire top surface of the phone, including the 3.5-inch display has been upgraded from plastic to “optical-quality glass”.
This should improve image quality and make it more scratch-resistant – unlike certain other Apple products.-Martin Lynch

Verizon is about the only place you can get the authentic RIM product and matching door. Most other sites are out of stock and even when they are in stock they have the black battery door which looks like crap. http://www.batteryfast.co.uk
I tested this camera for a client. I didn’t have the light running for more than 15 minutes. The battery lasted approximately 6 hours before recharging. The LCD, however, had a few dead pixels - never saw this before. Tried returning for exchange and had to put up quite a fight. Anyone else seen this?
