Please could somebody help me out?
1) I recently bought a T68 and charged it for about 10hours and used it quite abit for the 1st charge. Now the battery only lasts around 1day and a bit with only minimal use? Is this right?
2) Also when the phone is on charge its a bit dodgy, when i knock the phone off and but it on charge the red light comes on at the top and the screen lights up and says "CHARGING ONLY" then the screen goes off and the red light blinks and then repeats its self over and over again? Surely this is not right?
Any help on these matters would be much appreciated.

Yep, I think you should go to the store you bought the phone and let them solve this problem with the battery. |

There must be a problem with your phone. Visit an ericsson service center. They will fix it for sure.

You shurely will have better battery performance after a couple of chargings, but 1 day standby... This sounds like a defect battery!  |

I thought the same thing at first but then found that after about 4/5 days the battery lasted ages. I charged mine (without use) for 16 hours first time out the box, then used it a lot right after. Then i let the battery run all the way down again and charged it for another 4/5 hours.
3 weeks later and now i only have to charge the phone once a week, if that. Give the battery a chance and if it dosnt fix up after a few days then fling it back to where u bought it. |

I have the same problem. When I have Bluetooth on and set the phone to look for email every half h the battery only lasts around 1 day. I do use the phone a lot!:-) Jesper |

my battery is kind of short as well, the guy in the shop said to give it some time, but you have an automatic 1 year guaranty on your battery as well as phone, so you can get an Ericsson service centre to check it and they'll get you a new one....
good luck |
