Please don’t purchase a 3g Iphone

About a year or so ago, I purchased a 2G Iphone. For me it has been the best purchase I could have possible made. It’s like a little mini computer. I decided to purchase and upgrade to the new 3G Iphone the week following the day they came out. I wasn’t about to wait in line for an Iphone, so I ordered it. I received it in about 10 days. After about 5 days with my new 3G iphone, I was quite disappointed, and I returned it a couple of days ago. I do not recommend it. With a full charge, the battery only lasts approximately 5 hours. That for me is unacceptable. If you download any of the apps from itunes, it drains the battery very quickly. I took them off the phone, and it still drained the battery quickly. AT&T told me that even without the apps, the battery drains quickly in the new 3G iphones. I am now using my previous 2G Iphone which NEVER had battery problems. AT&T reconnected it for me and when I went to Itunes to get my contacts back, it died; so I hopped in the car and went back to AT & T, and it took about 1/2 hour to get it going again. Once they did that, it seems to have turned into a 3G phone, because the programs that were not on my iphone previously (and that were on the 3G phone) are now on my previous phone with some of the apps I got from itunes when I had the 3G phone. Of course, the battery drained within a few hours. I took all of them off yesterday, except for Free Cell, which I love. Hopefully, the battery will last longer. I’ll let you know in the next couple of days. Previously, with my 2G iphone, the battery lasted all day and then some. Stay tuned………….
