what is the average battery life of your k850 (from full charge to almost drained) ? please indicate also the firmware version.

mine's running on the latest (31, updated via SEUS), and a full charge simply lasted me about 2 days. i was running camera and music quite often, since my unit is just 3 days old. i had one full charge that lasted only for a mere day.

is this normal? how about others with k850s?

depends on quite some issues;

backlight (i got mine put back to 60%)
animated wallpapers/screensaver do drain battery more (don't use)
umts/3g does drain your battery (if you don't use, switch to gsm only)
camera and mp3 use does drain your battery
bluetooth traffic does drain your battery(only turn bluetooth on when used)
low network signal does drain your battery, try to put your phone somewhere it's better coverage

overall my k850 lasts 'bout 3days with quite some calles and photo's
