People are free to post their own screenshots as well.

Is this normal? I'm on 3G networks mostly all the time, push off, location services off, auto brightness off.
Brightness set at 60%
I spend my time browsing and texting mostly.

My battery life is horrible, but I think it is the norm for the iPhone 3g, especially with how much I use it. Having said that, if I am browsing for 2 hours straight, my battery will be damn near dead. I carry my charger and bought a car charger for charging throughout the day.

2 hrs doesnt sound right... I basically only do web browsing... I can get 5hrs usage easy... The only thing turned off is push..

incidentally I have push on for 2 email accounts which is why I say for my usage it would be normal if I was constantly browsing for two hours.

Ugh. This sucks, I don't want to swap in my 3G for a bad LCD panel.

Here's a thread that might help yall decide about sufficient batter life :)
