Hi guys,

I'm new here. I love my K700i. I've using it for 2 weeks. Battery life is getting better after 3 charges.....it last about 2-3 days with regular use and I just got a spare factory battery and charger at Ebay for just US$7.99, which is not bad.

This is something I just saw at another forum, it sounds a bit crazy.......someboby is using a Nokia battery(DLD-3 from 7210,3300,3200...)in the K700, check this out:

"Use a Nokia Battery

You may be surprised, but people bought a BLD series Nokia batt for their K700 and it works perfectly and has longer battery life. See here:

Also, The K700 and K700i are the same thing, it's just that the K700i is the "International" edition (K700c is chinese)."



*******Don't bother to try this, I tried it ...........the Nokia battery will fit but too thick, can't put the back cover on. And the phone won't turn on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!@^@

guys guys

did he mentioned why it only last 8hrs other then off this and that.

I guess most of the time he use it for MP3. He is looking for an iPOD equavalent for god sakes.....not a phone!!! Tht's what I believe in reading his first mail

With a phone getting too many features...some people start getting confuse. "Should I get a phone with camera or should I get a camera with phone"

now come a new statement....should I get a mp3 with phone or phone with mp3?

but then ppl don't study the pros and cons for each item.

I assume he is looking for K700 mainly on mp3 since tht is his main complain.

the "side-effects" of using a TFT screen...
dont blame SE mate, it seems you didn't study the phone that you bought, now you're griping against it... why not go and buy that fon that you want and stop wasting our time here...
I love my k700i... iv only had my battery run low once...
lithium polymer ion batteries can be recharged anytime, so when my k700i is a home... just clip in that charger.... works wonders

ive had my k700 for a few weeks now and the battery life has improved greatly, but what do u expect with BT games MP3's and radio of course the battery isnt gonna last as long as its meant to. the phone is awsome and if your worried about not enough songs, ive got 20 on there now, i use a wave editing program to re-encode MP3's into MP4's, u can adjust the Quilty to how much u think is neccecry, i find this phone to be the best ive ever had.

I've had myk700i for a month and after the upgrade to r2l it last 3 days now which is comparable to my bro's 7650 and my other bro's 6230. Of course the phone would never last that long if you use it for mp3 playback most of the time, it's a phone NOT an mp3 player go buy an ipod if you really use mp3 a lot

Turn your phone off and turn it on only when you send an SMS once or twice a day, a fully charged battery could last 3 months (maybe more) you understand what I'm saying?
resistance is futile.

HI

There is a problem with the battery for the K700i, Im from the UK and you have to charge your battery every night, but , Sony have just brought a new software for the phone, and once this is downloaded onto your phone the battery last much much longer, give it a try,

Heres the link

We all know that! The software that you mentioned is a firmware!

The trick is, you can convert mp3s in mp4s. Quality is same, but it takes double less memory (in avarage 1,5 Mb)!

What program do you use to convert your files? I'd really like to get it.
