By the way, I almost can't wait to start using my T68i, but as I said earlier I have to wait for the darn thing to charge for 16 hours. Now my question is this: Can the phone charge for 16 hours while it's on, in other words, could I use the phone while it is charging for the first time? Or does it have to be off to be able to "expand" the battery life? |

I always had them turned "on" for a while, cant keep my hands of new things 
So I dont think theres nothing to worry about if you uses it for a while when charging it, I mean you can always turn it off and let it be charged overnight then!

One phone salesman once told me that it is o.k to turn the phone on after it has been charging for one or two hours...
It seems to be obvious that it is wise to buy the i-version because it seems to be better than the older version. Joystick is better, stand-by times are better, keypad lights are better, software is better...
Anyway, tomorrow i will buy a Nokia 8250 from a guy who bought it from Singapore in january... |

@Armin: could you write down the capabilities of your T68i battery, so that we can compare them with our T68m one...
then we can be sure of these things... |

I just got the phone, I haven't even turned it on yet. You have to explain to me how I can find the capabilities of the battery, which menu...and so on. |

This might not belong in this thread, but I just got to say this... I looove my T68i! =)
Totally happy with it! Was a bit unsure of my buy at first, but now I don't regret it at all. Good way to spend my hard earned money I believe. =)
Regarding the battery/charging...
Is it possible that I've "ruined" my battery because I just charged it for 2 hours the first two times?
I get about 300 hours of standby, but the SE site says up to 390 hours.
Cheers!

Glad youre happy
Im thinking of getting one more and more
Theres no risk that you ruined your battery.
I only get 250-270h on my T68m when its charged overnight for example!

If you remove the T68m Battery you can read on its back sticker: "Li-Polymer Standard Battery BST-14 3.6V 700mAh Type 3000055"
Please, if someone owns a T68i, should you post what's printed on its battery back sticker?
So we will se if the two batteries are equal...
Bye

T68m has got a 700 mAh battery too so they are both the same...
however, with my T68m the status sometimes says that I have over 300 hours in standby... |

It the yielding, smaller yeilding comsume less power, like the processor 0.24 to 0.18 micron. Sony got the lastest fab the yield the chips smaller.
The smaller is it, the better the comsumption and of course it can clock faster too.
