Has anyone noticed that some have much better batteries then others.

My 16g same setting and work takes a hour to get off 100 % with a full charge but my 32 drops much quicker.

Anyone?
 
Why do you have two by the way? lol I've read there's a difference between the wifi and 3G models but two models of wifi should be the same.

I bought 3 one for me the other 2 for my kids.
I do see a big difference in battery life in mine.

Interesting. I have 2x64GB 3G's coming and can compare those to the wifi version I've been using ("borrowed" liberally from a family member...)

Yes please do as my 16g was great it had at least a hour of surfing before it hit 99%, the 32 drops in 10 minutes.

BTW same exact settings on both? Thinking about things like email check times, push, location svcs, bluetooth, screen brightness, etc.
 
I haven't paid much attention to when it goes from 100% to 99%, but mine seems to drop around 10% every hour during constant use.

Well that seems about right, no? 10% in one hour means 100% in 10 hours, which is what is advertised. I know some people get 11-12 hours but who knows how they are using it and what their brightness settings are at.

Either way, my wife has a 32GB WiFi and I have a 16GB 3G coming so I will see if I notice any differences when comparing WiFi vs WiFi.
