before my iphone battery died, the usage showed 5 hours and 53 minutes and 28 hours of standby time. Is that good for the iphone? And can you post some of your usage times as well. Thank you

Depends on Edge use - WiFi ON/OFF - Phone Calls

Yours is respectable. I wouldn't know because I charge every night.

As of 2107:

Usage: 3 Hours, 6 Mins
Standby: 8 Hours, 0 Mins

Battery: About 2/3 Remaining

usage 3Hrs 12min Wi-fi and calls
standby 13Hrs
About 60% remains

i think my battery is better
usage: 3:32 minutes
Standby: 1 day 19 hours
and almost 1/3 of the battery used so its pretty good and i was on the internet checked mail and play over 40 minutes of music too :)

But not everyone is experiencing this problem.

My phone now has 2 days 19 hours standby
5 hours 40 minutes usage and the battery is still half full.

On the two iPhones I use the most, I have seriously great battery life consistently.

On one:
4 days 10 hours standby
8 hours usage
iPhone was not plugged in since last charge
WiFi and bluetooth off, email on and checking every 30 minutes.

Second iPhone currently at:

1 day 20 hours standby
3 hours 10 minutes usage
Wifi off, bluetooth on, email off
Battery shows just under full
iPhone was not plugged in since last charge

Not bad, on four of my iPhones I get about that. On my other 3 iPhones I get a bit better :D

Erica Sadun created a nice little settings app that shows battery as percentile.
