    • ]]>     As I mentioned in my Sunday Finds, I just recently purchased an iPhone. I must say, I knew that I was going to be addicted, I just didn’t realize how much. I’m a Windows guy, and I was hoping Windows Mobile 7 would be released much sooner then later. Unfortunately it doesn’t look like that’s going to happen. So, I decided to make the plunge, drop my sorry Verizon phone and switch to AT&T and get the 3G iPhone. Two days later, I’m still hopelessly addicted, with no sign of slowing down. Dozens and dozens of apps, e-mail at your finger tips, IM like SMSing, visual voicemail, full internet browser, Wi-Fi, on and on and on. The problem with this addiction, is the battery life.

    I am quickly finding out that I am having to plug the phone in on a nightly basis, and it’s already getting somewhat annoying. So, I did some digging and I found a great video with several iPhone battery saving tips. I’ve listed some of the big ones, and you can see the rest in the below video.

    1. Turn off Wi-Fi when it’s not being used or needed.
    2. Turn off 3G when it’s not being used or needed.
    3. Turn down the screen brightness. I have mine extremely low, and I can still see everything great.
    4. Press the sleep button on top, as soon as you are done using it.
    5. If you are continuously forgetting to put it to sleep, make sure auto-locking is set fairly low. 1 or 2 minutes?
    6. Turn off Fetch or Push e-mail, if you aren’t using either one of them.
    7. Turn off phone vibration while ringing. Only have vibration on while it’s on silent.
    8. Avoid downloading apps while wireless.
