I have read the official battery guide and it see its similar to a laptop.

300 Cycles for laptop
400 for iPhone

My understanding is, 20%, then charge, 20%, then charge, 20%, then charge, 20%, then charge, 20%, then charge, = 100% = 1 CYCLE and to plug it in (LAPTOP) when near a plug to keep cycle count down.

Anyway, on the apple forum, opinions vary, some say to wait until you get the 20% warning, then charge it, well, I did that day and got 10 hours of use, internet, voice, on edge though...tonight trying 3G,

SO what is the best way, is it like a laptop, charge when possible or let it drain?!?!

PLEASE advise!

Thanks.:apple::D:apple:
