refuses to die :) waiting trying to get it to die since last night so i can drain it before a complete fresh charge.

battery life is awesome.
 
Does leaving wifi on cause severe battery drainage? My iP4 only loses 4-5% overnight, but the other night I left wifi on overnight and the battery suddenly drained 75% just sitting on my nightstand. I would think leaving wifi on wouldn't be such a big deal. If so, it's kind of a hassle to have to constantly turn it on and off whenever you want to use your phone.
 
killing the battery is just as easy as it always has been, up the brightness, turn wifi off, and start using that 3g and you'll be dead soon.

I can only tell you my experience with my 3G. With wifi on at my house, I can go all weekend without charging the phone. When I leave the house for work, it drains the battery more, since it doesn’t have wifi to connect to and is searching for it, but it doesn’t drain it enough for me to worry about it.
