Well, one thing to keep in mind is that with 3.1 - which was also supposed to fix the battery issue - people are reporting even more battery issues. So, I still think this is an implementation thing with Push that Apple just hasn't figured out yet. I think they will - eventually. But until that day, I'll have to stay away.

Thanks for sharing this information, Aaron.

Even though we all know over here that you've gone completely over to the business-side with a Blackberry Tour.

Nonetheless, I'll be posting this fixit on my own Blog.

Meanwhile, we're sticking with the Blackberry Curve 8900 for now. But, the newest iPhone is close. Very close. And, we've hacked our Curves into MacBerry's - http://briancork.wordpress.com/2009/06/09/the-macberry/.

And, AT&T is working very diligently to improve it's service - and, it's working. You will be able to read about my own recent adventures, and satisfaction, over that in the next week.

Here's the source article where I found the solution.

I also modified the post to include removing the account from the iPhone, doing a hard reset, then adding the account back in.

I was on the verge of giving up until I read about this. Indeed I had all these calendar invites in my inbox, and once I removed them and emptied my deleted items, battery life has been more than acceptable.

Oh, also, I forgot to mention that yesterday I conditioned the battery two times (drain fully then charge fully) using the wall charger. But I know for a fact that just doing the conditioning didn't help me.

It could very well be that there is something else wrong, and perhaps I should be getting more than 16-18 hours of standby battery life with wifi on and push on, but that amount of life is fine for me for now.

The theory is plausible, but deleting the invites ...

The theory is plausible, but deleting the invites from the inbox have not solved the problem for me. As a matter of fact, completely emptying the inbox and the deleted items did not help either. Same issue, so after 8 month of normal operation I have started experiencing rapid discharge with PUSH enabled. Changing the phone have not solved the problem. Please post any ideas you may have.
