This is for newbies to the iPhone 3G.
Guess the first question I asked when I first got my iPhone 3G?
I did not know when it was going to be fully charged! Haha.
I tried to find some answers in the product booklet that came along with it, but I didn’t see any.
So I guess there should be some of you who might be wondering about this too?
It’s really simple actually.
When your iPhone 3G is charging, the battery indicator on the top right corner will show a “lightning” symbol. (Sorry, the macro shot was kind of blur)
When your iPhone 3G is fully charged, the battery indicator will change to a “plug” symbol.
Well, just in case you wonder why my photos don’t look logical, I took them on different days lah. LOL.

Ok, but when you get it ‘new’, they tell you to charge it up WITHOUT turning it on. So, when it’s NOT on, how do you know? My screen is blank with no icons of any kind.

Hey Mike, usually for new electrical gadgets, I will do a 7-8 hours first charge. I don’t think it’s an issue to turn on the iphone to check the status, but you may want to do that after a few hours of charging.
