HELP! I got my T610 a week and a couple of days back via courier. I was not at home during that time and my girlfriend opened my phone tried it out. She charged it for an hour or so (or so she says) to get enough power to try it out. Now I have tried "breaking in" the battery per Orange3's post by charging it for 4 hours non stop, and have been running it to empty and recharging it again but it will not last more than 2 days. What can I do? Do I have to buy a new one? My old T39m's battery life is actually currently better than this T610's. HELP! I am desperate... But I love the phone, OH MY GOD. SE got it right this time around!

I think 2 days is the normal life span of a T610 batt. My batt, my friends' batt and my gf's batt all lasts just about two days. (frequent usage, call, texts, wap, theme, games) I think your battery life span is normal.

Thanks Kieboy for the reassurance - I feel somewhat better. Any other users out there support this? Is 2 days "normal" for the T610?

I have T310, and my battery last about 5 and a half days. I use it, well, let say "normaly". No WAP or GPRS, very light camera use, also light game playing, from time to time download from PC, mostly talk and SMS. And I was worried as battery on my previous phone(T20s) last longer. But, when saw your posts, now I wonder do I have some super extra deluxe abnormaly great battery  ,
Regards.

Hi, I just bought a new Z600 and have use all the battery life before charging it for 14 hours. The problem is, it still show charging after being charged for 14 hours. Is this normal for a new battery?
If this is normal y I dun get the fully charge status? What is the best time for charging the battery? Do I need to send my phone to the service centre bcos my phone is not more than 1 week?
Thanks in advance.

Yeah, I get about two days from my T610. Less than two days when I'm in the mood for testing stuff and the light's on, gprs connected and so on alot during a day. On vacation with the phone just sitting in my pocket on standby i get more.
My gf's battery I don't know about, I have a regular one running on food

My R520 used to run for a week with about 5 or 6 SMS a day and 20 mins of calls as well as GPRS usage.
My t610 cant match it but thats what one expects from a full colur display! |

I once got ahold of a laptop that had sat in a warehouse for probably over a year, it was a p1 so I think it had a ni-cad, anyway it didnt hold a charge for more than 5 min at a time, so I took an extention cord and cut it and striped the ends, puged it into an ac outlet and zaped the battery, the resulting charge through the cord melted the plastic insulation, and i had to reset the fuse for the outlet. Anyway I charged the lapto battery for a few hours and now it lasts about an hour and a half.
oh yea, DONT TRY THIS AT HOME
