I'm not sure I agree with him. I have an iPhone 3G. My boyfriend is a die hard anti-Apple fanboy (sigh, us two are complete opposites) and has a samsung blackjack II and is tempted to get a blackberry bold when released. One of his coworkers has an n95 he loves to death.
All three of us have pretty pathetic battery life on 3g.
My iPhone only dies faster than their two phones because they won't stop playing crash bandicoot, dizzy bee, tap tap revenge, and de blob on my phone. Meanwhile there's really nothing interesting to do on their phones besides snoop on their emails and the games that exist for windows mobile etc. aren't really...as fun. That is all.
(Also, the above would correspond with my opinion and experience that all 3G smartphones have awful battery life anyway, so if that's the only reason why he switched then that's not much of one.
He says he mostly does email and voice calls though. I don't know where he lives that his calls are dropped and he gets little to no signal, but my iPhone gets comparable signal to the two other smartphones and I've never had a dropped call (except when I was a couple floors underground). I will admit I almost never actually call anyone on my phone though; total talk time in 1 year and 1 month is around 1 day 6 hours. But I do lots of email! And it's a perfectly fine device for that. Just those blasted games that everyone wants to play...)
