I walked the freedom trail and did about 5 hours of listening to my iPhone iPod and I was at about 93% battery power.

Cold reboot of an iPhone isn't really all that magical, hold the two most prominent buttons on the phone until it reboots. That's in the manual.
I guess I don't consider "do not use it" a good enough answer to my useage draining the battery. That is like going to the doctor and telling him it hurts to lift your arm, and his response being "Don't lift your arm." I agree using the iPod function doesn't kill the battery, but playing Angry Birds on the plane does. (Which in airplane mode also means no network useage.)

And on my fiancee's iPhone, that reboot method didn't work for the problem she had. I forget what it was, but when I googled it the third solution I came across was it. There was a combination of multiple home buttons, follwed by something else.

Don't get me wrong; I am not an "Apple person" and I really like my iPhone. If I were to buy another smartphone today it would likely be an iPhone again. But when asked the question of what could be improved; I have suggestions.
