then obviously something else is wrong, have your friend reinstall 2.0,
and that should fix it... 1.0 & 2.0 runs at the same speed.

Been there, done that. Still slow. Admit it. Can you say POS ?

My phone battery last all day on a plane. That is because I turn the
phone off since calls are not allowed....

On a plane I listen to my iPod and sometime watch a movie on the iPod.
Never even came close to running out of battery power. Longest flight
was 5 hours. If I had an iPhone it would be in airplane mode and I
would guess it would have similar battery life to the iPod.

On trains where calls are allowed I often run down the battery on my
cell phone. But I don't carry a spare battery. I plug my charger into
the outlet Amtrak kindly provides. I would do the same with an iPhone.

I have never had a jack either. I think they may be in first class....

according to apple's specs, the 3g iphone has a little better battery
life than the original when it's in 2g mode.

it depends on the airline.

american airlines has seat power in all cabins (including economy) on
all of the mainline aircraft. on their smaller planes, such as the
crj, there isn't any seat power, but those planes are used for short
flights so it's not a big deal.

It seems to depend on the airline. When I was flying American
frequently the business class seats had 12V cigar lighter power jacks.
There is usually an EmPower jack on United flights I take. Singapore
Airlines has 110V AC sockets, Cathay Pacific has EmPower jacks, I think
Virgin Atlantic has EmPower jacks, some Air Canada planes have EmPower
jacks. I haven't found any power sockets on the Alaska Airlines,
Southwest and Mexicana flights I've taken recently.

I used to pay closer attention to this, but what I mostly wanted
power for was my laptop and the Macbook Pro I carry now seems to
want more power than any of these support (the Macbook wants
85W but the power plugs all seem to be limited to 70W) so now if
the flight goes longer than my laptop battery I usually just sleep
instead.

I would note that I've seen "charging stations", with a bunch of
AC power sockets, in the gate waiting areas of an increasing number
of airports I've changed plans in. The airport I specifically
remember these in is LAX, the stations all have Samsung ads
attached. Even in airports without these, however, I can usually
find a wall socket to use to recharge the laptop between planes.

I own and take an iGo with me when I go on extended trips. I have three tips
for the three devices I currently take with me. But I like to put that in
my suitcase and use it when I'm away, not try to hook all that stuff up when
I'm in the air. Flying these days is tough enough without having to worry
about that too.

After everything that's been said here, that's your position? You're not
one of those guys who, after someone finishes speaking, makes them feel like
you weren't listening to anything they said, are you?

The advantage for you here is that you had the chance to go back and re-read
everything, but you blew the opportunity to even pretend to be a good
listener.

All of my phones had replaceable batteries, including my current BB Curve.
None of them were "structurally weak" or "unreliable". I'll beg to differ,
replaceable batteries are still needed in today's world. I hate to go around
full circle and repeat what's been said here a few times, but it depends on
your personal usage need.
