A little tough Love about battery issues.

People are playing russian roulette with the TP and that is totally outrageous. If it worked as advertised (everyone's, not just the 5 people that will respond to this saying theirs works great), then I certainly wouldn't be complaining. Can you imagine if there was a spec that said "talk time max of 4.5 hours, or 1 hour when charging, or whenever the radios heat the battery up enough, whichever comes first." But you won't see a spec like that because it is not supposed to be like that. The iPhone is SUPPOSED to lack cut and paste. The spec says it (rather a reviewer says it, but close enough) and the phone lacks it. Consistency.

I am somewhat annoyed that I am being met as if I am "another Apple worshipper." I guess I haven't given you guys much to work with as I am a new poster. I am tired of defending myself: I don't own, nor have I ever owned, any Apple products or stock. The iPhone is most likely not for me and if I deem the TP a lost case, I STILL won't be getting the iPhone. But I am not brainwashed into thinking that only WinMo products are worthy of "my leet skillz, yo."
