Just figured I'd chime in a rather pleased report. I've used many different types of smartphones. Blackberry models, a few winmo devices, palm old and new, and nokia (new kinds). I still rate the E71 as the longest lasting smartphone, but then again it's virtually a battery with a phone bolted on. This 3GS is in a close second for battery longevity. I've just received the phone today and have been brutally taxing it for the last 4 hours alternating between doom, beejiveIM, facebook, SMS, watching shows, and browsing these forums. It's still at %65 charge. That's remarkable. Superbly remarkable. Given the hardware and what this phone is capable of I'd say this is the best wireless longevity I've ever seen. Amazing, truly a treat. I have found "the answer" in smartphones.
