[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 917455, member: 24160"] Thought maybe I had waited long enough to upgrade - guess not. After finally upgrading to the 3gs from the 2g, the battery does leave a lot to be desired in the 3gs. The way I use it, primarily as a phone, no texting, bluetooth on, wifi off and taking pictures at job sites - the 2g went for a good 5 days between charges at 2 yrs old. The new 3gs barely gets 2 days. Never had a single dropped call on the 2g without reason either - like one of us getting into an elevator, etc. Am now getting disconnects and drop outs on at least 20-30% of my calls. My wife can't even make/receive a call from the desk at her office with the new phone. So it refuses to even switch back to the edge network. I will try conditioning and see if that improves the battery any. About the only thing it does do better, if I'm inside one of the big box electronics stores, I get a much better browsing experience to check prices online. [/QUOTE]
