Well the new 3g iphone is all good, apart from the fact that the 3g takes a big chunk out of your battery, i even had mine run out of battery in a day, which never happened with my first generation iphone.

Use these tips to extend the battery life on your new iphone 3g:

• Turn 3g function off when your not using it, you can do this on the iphone easily
• Use wifi over 3g where possible
• Turn down the screen brightness
• Use the all new google search app instead of launching safari all the time

By using all or a combination of the above, you should be able to extend the battery life on the handset.

Sources have revealed the secret plans for the launch of the 3G iPhone in the UK. These plans include special passes for those who pre-order the new iPhone 3g online.
