I do use it mostly as an ipod. Therefore, I keep it in airplane mode, turn off the wi-fi, set the auto-brightness, and turned the brightness down to 50%. I sleep it alot too. My battery indicator says I have about 25% of charge left!! I could get maybe 30hrs out of this by careful power maintenance, I think. I turn on email, phone, etc. only when I specifically want to use them.</p> I’m clocking past 24 hrs. today on iphone’s first charge. I do use it mostly as an ipod.

I flew to Europe right after getting the iPhone and was able to see seven episodes of Jericho, listen to music, do emails and play a bit with the unit. I was absolutely stunt... However, I recharged it overnight and got only a few hours of basic usage. I have followed Daniel's recommendations above, and they work out well. I have one question however: you talk about disabling the radios, but can you disable all radios except the WiFi? I did not find any option to turn off the phone radio. I also tried to turn on the airplane mode and then turn on the WiFi only and it turned on botth WiFi and phone radios. Thanks, Gil</p> This very helpful, thank you.

6.If you haven’t done a full drain-to-maximum charge cycle yet, power down the phone and reset the usage statistics before you put it on the AC adapter. This seems to be helping zero out stats and allow the OS to display the fully charged icon.

Do I power down in general even when it’s a full charge, or do I wait for the phone to drain completely before resetting the usage statistics?
