Mine last for 72 to 84 hrs. I think, around 2 - 2.5 days with normal usage. Using lots of SMS over GPRS, a few WAP over GPRS, some calls, just the average use of it. Not bad power supply I think... |

My phone also has this charging problem. It simply doesn't want to fill the bar at the bottom. As such, it only lasts around a day to a day and a half. Which isn't too ideal coz that means I either have to charge every night even if the battery still has a little juice, or bring the charger to school, which is dumb. |

charging is at its best when OFF....
coz when it's ON, you charge and discharge it at the same time...(however, charging rate is faster than discharging rate, the reason why your phone charges as well)...
and besides, there are some people in the forums that say they've been losing colors because they're charging their phones turned ON....
your call.
i charge mine OFF.

gooms,
That's why your battery lasted 4-5 days.
I always turn off my phone while charging and i make sure my battery is drained before charging. |

my T68 is one month old already with me. its manufactured date is week 1 2002 with HW ver. R1B. i guess i have charge the fon for not more than 20 times 
most of the time, while its on, i can charge my T68 for more than 2 hours to have this battery indicator to go on stable(battery charging indication no movement) and after a while the screen saver appears. does it mean its already fully charge and i can remove now my charger? after some few minutes i checked the battery status but the standby time is only more or less 230 hours and i havent reach this 300 hrs as of now 
twice, i tried charging while the fon is off, but the standby time after having fully charge becomes less than 230 hrs
i do some experiments, like charging off or on, two to four hours or sometimes longer like when i sleep at night  and leave it charging until in the morning. but still i cannot reach this 300 hrs or lets say 250 hrs and above
and the talk time is sometimes weird usually for 230 hrs of standby time i can have 5-6 hrs talk time but one incident i have 12 hrs of talk time 
i also experienced when after the low batt indication appears, i was able to make 20 minutes fon call then checked both standby and talk time becomes zero. still, i was able to make some sms, and it takes few hours after the fon goes off
is it normal? is there a problem with my charging? or, thats it, i can only have 230 hrs standby and 5-6 hrs of talk time.
anyway, i still love my T68 after all
 :es :
tnx, Goodbye!!!

Kutchi,
Don't rely too much on the status of standby or talktime. It's really weird and inaccurate. Me too, I've experienced also display status indicating 0 standby and 0 talktime, but i still manages to make some call and sms.
I usually wait for my battery to drained before I charge it. |
