I think of all SE phones, K700 has the worst battery life time. The phone never goes a full day without charging. Yesterday, I charged it fully, then used an MSN application for about 3 hours continously, and the battery finished! Only 4 hours? |

The nokia N80 has a worst battery than the K700.
Im lucky if i get 2 days out of the unit by just using it for sms and a couple or calls and pics.
The battery is not up to what the phone can do which is a shame.
I found the K700 battery to last about 3 days in all, and the K750 about 4-5. |

maybe because most se phones is weak on java application so they cost lot of batteries power.... and MSN is using gprs connection so it spend the battery. btw if u use walkman phone, using java apps per minute maybe same with listen to mp3 per track (depends). so theres no way out, but remember k700 is not new anymore, the older the phone, the older also the battery, so thereby as you often charge it, sooner you'll need to buy new batt... seems similar with my k508i which very inconvenient bcus i play games everyday and now i think it needs a new battery.
i also had a cdma nokia and use it as dial up modem, though i alredy charge it, it cant last more than 10 h. |

Considering that you used MSN for 3 hours is enough said. But the K700 had a fault when first released about the phone and battery and released a new firmware to fix the problem. Have you updated the firmware.

A full charge on mine lasts 3 days average on normal use. It naturally becomes less if you use a lot of other apps.
resistance is futile. |

I could never understand why the K700 was never given a Li Polymer battery!
Very Very strange!

Ive had the k800 a couple of days and am not too sure how good its battery is meant to be. Charged it for about 18hours on first charge- charge only broken once when i had to move the plug somewhere else. It lasted about a day and a half- half an hour of calls and about 30mins of gprs/3g. It was also connected to a bluetooth headset for about 2hours. Charged it for 8hrs in second charge and about 3hours after unplugging it its down to 92%- 2min call, 2min 3g and 1hr connected to btooth. Is this right? |

Lithium-ion. As I understand it the lithium-polymer can be smaller/lighter/cheaper to make though doesn't quite provide the same capacity as normal lithium ion (on a like for like basis). |
