K700i - Battery EATER!

Hi,

I just bought a SE k700i and am really pleased with it. My battery is a li-pol bst35 and it seems like it can last 3-4 days.
I waited for the phone the shutdown by itself so the battery had completeley run dry and charged it for 10hours and now it's been on for 48h and still has something like 60% left.
But I'm not a "hardcore user"

I used a bit of GPRS, some java gaming (but only like 20 minutes), some photos and some phoning/SMS of course
I'm really pleased with the battery. My Nokia6600 only lasts for 2.5 days with the same kind of use.

I've had K700i since October '04. Great phone but battery doesn't last same as everyone else. I charge it every evening whether it needs it or not. If I don't, it will go flat on the 2nd day - guarranteed.

My old K700 wouldn't even last a day, that was with minimal calls and texts.

i have mine since july last year and i charge the batt every 3-4 days here in kuwait but in philippines 2-3 days only. i play fm radio a lot aside from usual sending sms and calls. so it depends on your receive signal level in your location and how frequent you use the phone.

Most days I don't make any calls just half an hour of games and I get little over 30 hours.My T610 would last around a week.The battery life is abysmal.

Hmmm...it seems some people can squeeze 4 days out of it while others only manage with less than a day. 4 days??? Impossible. I use my phone (k700i) minimally and the battery flats, guaranteed, on the night of the second day. (I don't even turn it on for the night)

H m m m . . . BST-35, maybe that's what I need here! I don't think that even the latest firmware upgrade can make and show a TREMENDOUS change with the way the poor battery - performs, if so, I am very certain that it will just have a very . . . MINIMAL effect! [addsig]

You have to laugh at the low battery warning that plays a sound and flashes the screen though. Does wonders for a dying phone battery that you're desparately trying to send that last SMS on!
