Hey
I did a search but couldnt find the answer to this one
Is there a high capacity battery in the pipeline for the P990? I've read that the supplied battery is ok but would like to get more juice in my phone which is arriving tomorrow
cheers

This is good news. I was a little suprised by having only a 900mAh battery when my WM2005 devices have more. But as said, it does appear to be fair for general use. Mine lasted just over 3 days with brightness turned down, some texts, few phone calls (not long), about half hour of WLAN usage, plus other "playing" with the phone. I have turned 3G off for now and want to see if that makes it last longer as when I was going in and out of a 3G area the battery seemed to drop much quicker.

If i manage to avoid using wifi like mad when i get to my home at night, i can get more than one day, with only PIM, calls, sms and music usage...but wifi just drains it like mad

On GSM only, I manage to squeeze out 1.5 days worth on an average with flip on.
I suspect that battery life gets shortened with the flip off, is this just me noticing things that really aren't there??

I wonder if there will be 'unofficial' versions of the battery floating around on eBay soon? |

Sony Ericsson NL stated the P990 will not be shipped with the BST-34 when this battery type becomes available. The BST-34 will remain an optional accesoiry. This decision was made after the P990 white paper was drawn up.
Only test/review samples are shipped with a BST-34. |

mine lasted less than a day, merely 14hours, extensive usage though, but still unsatisfying, not as strong as my w900, i need the extra "mah" badly |

I typically need to charge mine every night. I use WiFi pretty heavily though and listen to music on my HBH-DS970 headset for a couple hours. Don't have 3G here in the States though; otherwise the phone would probably die before the end of the day! I hope the new battery comes out relatively soon. Anyone have an idea of what the price range could be? Still loving the phone! |
