Are you kidding me? I need more battery life than the iphone 4 can pick out. And until there is a decent battery case for the 4, I want to know if mine will work. Or are to too elite (or immature) to answer my question..

No it wont fit..... and

In fact, we managed to squeeze more than 38 hours -- yes, 38 hours -- of life out of a single charge using the phone as we normally would. We're talking calls, some gaming, lots of push email and calendar invites, playing music over Bluetooth in the car, and just general testing (like downloading new apps, rearranging icons, tweaking settings). We went from 10:30AM on a Saturday morning till 1:00AM on Monday without needing to charge the phone.... Engadget review

How much batt life do ya need???

I'm just worried after watching my phone tick down in my hand that the lousy coverage where I am will have a simular affect here. Guess I'll see on Thursday.. And I was just hoping for a yes/no answer, not the childish "I just threw up in my mouth" answers, especially from people who have been on this board for two years less than me.

Hope this is what you want notice the battery life is still 85 percent after 5 hours.

Hey MrCruiser, thanks for the picture. But I meant also one picture AFTER you restart the phone, so we can all see how much RAM PURELY the OS uses. Also, as much as your phone has been UP for 5 hours, it hasn't been USED for 5 hours. Giving us the "Usage and Standby" times under Settings would be much more helpful in ascertaining the increased battery life/efficiency. Thanks man!

Here's me thinking all these people pre-ordering iPhones were tech nerds and then a bunch of videos come out were people don't know the correct name of the device, dont know the correct orientation to take video, videos in SD, unboxings that show more of the box than the actual phone, smh.

I bet there's a bunch of iPads out there being used as serving trays.

Of course, because that's what kids do with their iphones huh? I'm in an iffy 3G area, which KILLS my 3GS' battery when I have 3G enabled. What's why I need the extra battery life. If you're in a border area 3G will kill your battery faster than your porn surfing Calidude..

dude.. have you seen the mini 3g cell? Someone with such a need for battery life surely has spent some time looking at an alternative.. or what..no dsl? - so BRO -- your worries are over! dump that case!

"AT&T 3G MicroCell acts like a mini cellular tower in your home or small business environment. It connects to AT&T's network via your existing broadband Internet service (such as DSL or cable) and is designed to support up to four simultaneous users in a home or small business setting. "

And have me pay for this MicroCell? No thank you. I'm not paying for their toy just because they can't deal with their network. Plus, I am only going to be stuck with AT&T for a few months, then I move to Canada where I hear they have decent coverage. And by the time I'm ready to move, Incase should have a battery case for the iphone 4, if I need it. The 3GS battery case was going to be a short term fix until something better was available.

Honestly, I just wanted to know if it fit. That's all, I didn't need the snide comments from the elite iphone crew.

It happens. You'll notice I was the only one who gave him a decent answer and was interested in what caused his battery life to be so bad.

so does anyone know the iPhone 4's core speed???

Somebody does but it doesn't look like anyone on this forum does. I'm betting there are some engineers at Apple that could tell you...but then they'd have to shoot you. ;)

Going based on the benchmarks someone previously posted, I'd guess it's somewhere under 1Ghz. Unless, this application doesn't properly work with iOS 4/iPhone 4.
