After my initial issues with the battery draining really quickly, my wife took the phone to Chicago with her and it was replaced.

The new phone has held a full-strength charge for a long time. A really long time. Far, far longer than seems possible.

I'll admit that I haven't been using it all that much, it automatically locks after a minute, no bluetooth or wi-fi or auto email pulldown, and no songs yet. A little web surfing and phone usage.

But it's gone a good 34 hours since charging and the battery meter hasn't dropped one whit. I've spent about 10 hours in my office, which gets no reception at all, so I figured the battery would be draining much more quickly.

Am I being too paranoid at this point or do I have something to worry about? On one hand, I realize I haven't been using it that much. On the other, I would figure it would be down a little by now.

How long was it lasting before? I feel like I have to charge my iphone alot, but I use the internet a good amount.
