That’s what makes it so great, its the battery life. What good is a phone if the battery only last 5 hours? They make a big deal about carrying spare batteries, but I and most people probably don't walk around with extra batteries in their pockets. Coming from the TP1/TP2 where all you get are crashes and resets, this phone is amazing. I also tried android 2.1 with the Nexus One for a couple weeks, it was ok, but still doesn’t work as seamlessly as the iphone with iOS4. So my honest opinion is as of right now, the iphone 4 with iOS4 is the best smartphone and I’ve tried without a doubt, there is nothing out there right now that has a combination of battery life, speed, seamless integration, huge amount of apps, and accessories like the iphone does. Also, I forgot to mention the camera, it was so clear and high quality, that I left the Canon point and shoot at the hotel and just used my iphone during the remainder of the trip. By far the best cell phone camera I ever used, makes the TP2 camera look like a sad joke.

I am not saying this won’t change later, maybe Android 3.0 will close the gap or the WinMo 7 coming out might beat it (unlikely). I’ve used just about every phone out there, including WebOS and all the WinMo incarnations. Without a doubt the iphone 4 is the Gold Standard for which other phones are to be judged. And this is coming from a guy who hates Apple and ridiculed everyone who got iphones when the first iphones 2G appeared.
