Yup - first iPhone. The first two days, the battery dropped pretty fast while I got used to the interface, set up settings, accounts, etc. I let it go cause I knew I was using it in a way I normally wouldn't.

The other day was my first day of normal level of usage, which would be a decent number of calls and staying pretty light on the smartphone feature usage, and 2 days of usage without a recharge would be pretty tricky to do.
I guess I'm used to other devices like my kindle or my previous phone where I can leave it for a week and a half before it needs a charge.
