[Kunmui]

Now that the phone has been out for a while, how long has the battery life been lasting on this phone with normal use? Thank you for any imput

i received my phone on Monday and I talk about 2-3 hours per day on a bluetooth headset. With that use the battery is lasting about 9 hours. It has a unacceptable battery life for my needs. So I am giving it a few more charge cycles and then it is going back. I was using a Motorola SLVR and with the same use the phone will last about 1 day and a half.. It is a beautiful phone but battery life is a deal breaker for me,..

There are a couple of battery life ideas/needs this phone has. One is to lower the screen brightness. You can also adjust the timeout of the screen. A must is to make sure you really close applications. My daughter, who has had a 6620 for years (also an s60 device) says to always select options and then exit or close whenever you are done with something. I've had it a week and charged maybe three times. I'm not letting it go dead on purpose. That's old, wrong battery advise. I get about 2-3 days with light use. This is having it mostly in a weak signal spot.

gdart, yes, that's a good point: don't let the battery die every time, current batteries actually like to be recharged at various levels of discharge.

I have done all that and I alwasy exit when I close my applications. I am not a light user. I am a heavy user and I dont let the battery die before charging. I always charge it every night, however I would like my phone to last the day without dying 6 hours after I take it off the charger. I would be interested in the battery life of someone who is a heavier user of the phone as I am. I am curious to see how long their battery lasts... Dont get me wrong I love the phone it is really nice, but the battery life is just a deal breaker for me...
