Users are complaining that the iPhone OS 3.1 software decreases battery life, hinders logging in to Exchange accounts, and causes random shutdowns.

Apple is taking a harder look at complaints that the latest version of its iPhone software is burning through battery life at a fast rate.

The iPhone OS 3.1 software added numerous new features like application recommending, improved Exchange support, and access to a ringtone store, but multiple users are reporting it significantly increases power consumption. AppleCare specialists have sent follow-up questions to an undisclosed number of iPhone owners who posted on its support forums about the decreased battery life.

I've messed around with my phone to know if i have to go somewhere without charging my battery for a while to put it from 3G to edge to save battery, but edge just sucks when your trying to do anything but make a call.
