I've also had mine since november and the standby time etc is the same as then.
Maybe you're lame on charging it. I only charge mine when it starts beeping.

Ben,
I think you are going to find yourself on your own (again) on this one.
If you look at the battery and read the back, it's Li-Polymer.
The length of time your battery will last is related to how strong the signal received is, whether you travel with the phone a lot (constantly registering on new base stations), results will vary a lot. But if your battery is degrading in 3 months, you've got a fault.
My phone is 4 months old and battery life is unchanged.

Good morning! 
You can turn that GPRS thing off - Communication -data communication - Nr 2 - only GSM... But I don't think that matters... I still have the poor capacity.

JH67 >It will not affect the battery-standby if you have the phone on gprs&gsm.
But here I have no GPRS network, so isn't my phone constantly searching for it? Like when there is no GSM network...it uses more battery, right?

If I am not wrong, Lithium Polymer battery is NOT supposed to be run-down a lot as it will affect the battery life.
So if you kept on depleting your battery to near-minimal charge or until your unit shutsdown, the battery life may be reduced.
Correct me if I am wrong about this. But this is why I heard, MANY MANY times from Compaq iPaq user. iPaq use Li-Polymer too. |

arroyootje > in the datacomm-settings you can put the phone to gprs&gsm or just gsm.
If you dont have gprs, then you'll just have your phone on "gsm only".
Then it will not search for gprs 
Yes It will search for gsm,..this is the same for everyone.
