Ok, I apologize in advance if these topics have already been covered but I wanted to see what people thought about this/if they had the same concerns..

Two main concerns:
1. Battery life
2. AT&T service

Some of the early reviews have complained quite a bit about the battery life on the new iPhone 3g. Is anyone else concerned about this? I probably need to use my phone 2 hours a day for talk, 1 hour for browsing and e-mail but will not be able to recharge. Is the only option turning off 3G for phone calls to try and extend battery life and having to pray for wifi networks? This phone sounds amazing but I really can't have issues with the thing running out of battery in the middle of the afternoon.

Second, AT&T service. No, I am not going to complain about it costing $10 more than before since we will be getting a better service. But my main concern is that I am switching over from Verizon and live in the New York Metro area. I am really worried that the AT&T wireless coverage is not as good for voice or data in this area. Again, the phone seems amazing but is the network bad enough that it's going to inhibit me from actually being able to use this thing?

Again, I just wanted to see what other people think/have read/are planing to do. I am and have been really excited to get this phone but am sort of feeling uneasy as the big day approaches.. Almost considering walking away from the altar... :rolleyes:

HELP!
