How to Show the Battery Percentage Indicator on iPhone 3GS

I turned this on for a few days over the weekend, but I found it nerve-wracking. My battery never dipped below 50 percent, but I felt like it was draining constantly because it’d lose a point every few minutes. I’m not sure why this is a 3GS-only feature; perhaps the battery meter in the 3GS is more accurate than on the older hardware.
