I can’t relate with my buddy Joel over at Geek.com on his rants since I decided not to buy the 3G variety of the iPhone. I do have the original 8GB iPhone with 2.02 running on it. I keep putting it away to try other devices, then Apple releases another bug fix, so I fire it back up. I have used it 60% of the time since the new software that allowed me to use Microsoft Exchange 2007 was released. Well, Joel dove in and bought the 3G iPhone and from earlier impressions, he liked it. Now, he seems to be changing his toon a tad…

When I first reviewed the iPhone 3G I couldn’t say enough good things about it. I even recommended that existing owners of the iPhone upgrade to it. After a little over a month of ownership, though, I’m contemplating getting rid of mine. My reasons are below.

Head over to Geek.com to see his reasoning, but I will say that out of his issues, the battery life issue is the only one we share. I attribute the poor battery times I get to constant incoming email via Microsoft Exchange. I know I could adjust some settings, but I don’t want to limit Exchange’s ability to get my email to me in a hurry.
