Hi,

Got my iPhone 3G 2 days ago and the battery life is rather abysmal so far especially compared to my brother's identical phone.

I charged it after buying it and then drained it in the first day in about 10 hours and today I got the 20% warning after only having it on standby for less than 7 hours. Is it defective or is there anything I can do about it?

More info:

Wireless is off
Bluetooth is off
Location is off
3G is off
Push is off
Checks for gmail every 30 minutes

The charge today gave me 6:42 on standby before I started charging again and said there was about an hour of usage. Made only 3 phone calls lasting about 6 minutes. Very minimal surfing - just checking my mail (4 messages came in).

thanks,
