I've got an iPhone, and to be honest, the battery life has never been good. This update just jacks it even more. It's a great device, but battery life sucks!

Almost everybody I know that has an iPhone loves them, I wouldn't trade in my Blackberry for one, but if the users are happy then I'd say it's a "great product". A product is designed for it's user base, not for every person. You'd never be able to find one phone that met everybody's needs and wants.

I completely love my iPhone. First phone that I've ever kept for over a year in my life.

It's like any other smartphone. It freezes up from time to time, and has battery issues. Why anyone thinks it's far superb to all other phones anymore is beyond me.

YOU LIE! Every product Apple creates is perfect in every way. A hacker would implode if he even thought of writing a virus for OSX. The iPhone battery would last forever (drawing on zero-point energy) if only the users were worthy enough - but no one is. Steve Jobs has never had to recharge his iPhone, it draws on his divine brilliance for energy. Windows sucks, and anyone who uses it is an unwashed, uneducated, unworthy fool!

Haha... This was a great post... One note though, Steve Jobs hasn't had to charge his iPhone, because he uses a Blackberry.

If it's having issues and freezing up and randomly powering off why don't owners just do a battery pull like I do for my Storm?!? Ahhhhhh now I get it! :)

No one says the iPhone is perfect. It's just your imagination.
