(More customer reviews)Apple - how about interchangeable batteries for the next iPhone? My Samsung Epix has them, and a separate charger like the Samsung Blackjack I which uses the same battery as the Epix. And improved battery power 2400 mah not 1200. My Samsung has 1800mah batteries they last for 3 days. The iPhone is used most of the time and needs more power. My Samsung always has a charged battery available, wish my iPhone did.
In all fairness I only have it 3 days and will need to follow up to this review. I gave it a 3 because of the main flaw. The power button is not recesssed in any way. I am using it with my iPone and if I keep the button facing my iPhone in an Otterman box with a rubber band to keep it from moving it usually does not turn off. But that is because the Otterman provides space between the power button and the screen. With the button on the raised surface it tends to turn itself off. As I am just testing it I was surprised that it took 8 hours to fully charge my iPhone, but did turn itself off twice for 30 minutes? It also did not show it has lost any power in charging my iPhone which is great. With the iPhone battery deep inside with no way to swap it out like my Samsung this battery may work for you. It does work well from what I saw so far. The button is really a very bad design flaw. I might try gluing something around it bit will stick to US Post Office rubber bands for now. The two USB ports will power my I phone and my portable speaker at the same time. I will report sometime down the road about actual battery life and other items that I can not post now.
I would ask anyone who has owned this item or buys it to try to post their feelings on the power button, maybe solutions. And overall time charging an Iphone and how long the product lasted them before the trash. Thanks in advance.
UPDATE 08/24/10: I used it for the second time last night. My iPhone hit 4% power at around 7:30pm. I plugged it in, used iPhone for about an hour. when I shut my iPhone off. I thought it would completely charge the iPhone to 100% overnight and would still have power left. I was surprised at 7:30am that my iPhone was at 58% and the Trent Battery was dead. I am recharging it now and will continue testing. I am still happy with the purchase, a little surprised at this turn, and not as impressed as with my first use.
