wow that's strange, my battery is running great... for example, yesterday, i took it off the charger at 11:00am, and then at midnight, it was still at 83%. I made calls and took pictures and everything during the day. mine pretty much drops 1% per hour, unless i dont touch the phone at all. |

You need to charge it for four hours (not that 16hr rubbish that morons at phone shops tell you), which is stated in the manual!. If you only charged it for two then it's not surprising if you have a crap battery life. Also don't play around with the phone before charging it, it says in the manual to charge the phone to full before f*ing about with it. |

Wierd, I'm also running pretty good battery life. Coming from the C500 its a blessing and also got a T610, which I think its on par with! |

Its supposed that i should get a "fully charged" message when the battery gets its 100% of charge, at least that's what the newer firmwares have to do...but i've never saw that, anyone could explain this?
Thanks!

@alex..
It will show up the message after it gets fully charged
May be you just need to press any soft key to see it as it will be in sleep mode (as i did to see the message, even it didn't show me the message on my old k750 handset for the first three cycles after the firmware update but then when i pressed the answer button after the charge it has shown me), tho i got a new replaced one that a diff issue 
Just try out it may works for u too

Well I'm going to try this...thanks!
Another thing that I noticed is the behaviour of the battery status percentage....I don't know if this is normal but once I checked the battery status and it says 51% I let the phone for a while and then the battery status goes up to 57%, I then checked esato's wap site and make a couple of phone calls....the battery goes down again to 53%, turn off the phone at night and in the mourning the battery status shows 61%....wow, it seems that the battery has been selfcharging...jejejeje!!

Yeap, I know that, but I only turned off the phone at night, but the other ups and downs were while I was using the phone and let it rest for a while....in fact, the battery status still at 61% by now....  |

My battery is great, if I dont use the USB-cable it runs for 4-5 days. But I take pictures often and the phone are connected to the usb-cable maybe 30 min every other day.. so I practicly NEVER charge.. I bought a car charger for my phone, had it for three weeks or so.. never used it.. lol |

i charge it everyday....my battery doesnt last long either, a moderate calls and few sms, will chew up 20% of the battery in just 5-6 hours after being completely charged....but if i don't use it much, like standby and may be just a couple of sms, the battery will stay a little longer, and i have got my mobile for the 3rd weeks running |

Best battery life I've ever had on a phone. Had the phone for a week now and only charged it once, had it oon the USB cable a few time though so that kept it going a bit longer. But used it tons kicks arse on the K700 battery.
@Alexl22. Yeah mine does that. Last night It was reading 21% so I played loads of games and sent a couple of texts, went down to about 11%, then when I went to bed and put it on charge it was back up to 18%. But I read somewhere, on Esato, that the percentage indication isn't 100% correct as it's a software interpretation of battery useage(or something like that) |
