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!

Have placed and order with them. Their site says 3 days availability, but I know from past experience that just about anything which is not currently available is marked with 3 day availability regardless of whether the item is weeks away.
Still, the SE Store UK says October in the coming soon section for the BST-34 and they are normally very conservative with their estimates so it may arrive soon afterall. |

definitely. If you could test maybe how much difference there is between the two batteries (you know, especially if one blows up and the other doesn't....*ahem*....sony battery recall), that would be great. =)~

I find it amazing that this phone needs to charged up so frequently. If we were to look at the specs again in their advertisement, it says that this phone is supposed to have a 400 hour standby time and 9 hours of talk time. Now where are they getting these numbers from??????
If you were to take 400 hours and divide it into a 24 hour day - that is over 16 days! If I were to let my phone just sit and not use it, it would be drained in 2-3 days.
Now is this false advertisement?????? |

I use the original battery, and I get a full five days out of it.
This is how I use it:
- Charge only when totally drained.
- I use it as my office phone, so a few hours of calls each day.
- A few texts a day
- 3G on.
- Flight mode at night.

Li-Polymer batteries should NOT be totally drained before charging.
Just Google it and you will see.

Obviously you management of the battery seems to be paying-off contrary to the theory about Li-ion an Li-poly battery charging (ie never drain and charge frequently). I know you don't drain the battery, no one does in reality! I charge everynight or when the battery reaches around 25%

lasting 5 days is very good... it just shows how much you use your phone....
mine lasts around 2 days max.
gprs always on... frequent use of the net..
bluetooth always on...
4-6 hrs of wifi |
