Norwegian Mobile site amobil did testing on battery life on some 45 different phones which took them 3 months,and needless to say the  Z530i came out tops in terms of stand-by time and talk time.
Here you can read the Full Article and complete test results.

Did this people really do the test or just take the figure from the manufacturer spec sheet. Look more like the latter. And SE battery life given in spec sheet is pure nonsense. |

@boba
UTMS call just mean voice call time, on UTMS reception (meaning higher battery drain).
@mib
It doesn't take the times off the spec sheet. It specifies the 'listed' talk time in grey.

You should really learn to read the full article (it is in english after all) before making that kind of statements.

It really does not matter that much for this kind of test as long as the operation condition (operator used, location etc.) is same for all phone tests.
But on page two the article says "The test was commenced in Bergen, Norway with SIM cards from Telenor Mobil".

then this test does not reflect real world. My friend can get max 5 days with K750 on normal use. I can get a max of 4.5 days from my N70 on normal use.
The talk time as shown with with K750 more than double that N70 is just too far from reflective of real world usage. |

@shaliron i use umts since almost 2 years and never realised that in umts system normal calls drained the batt faster. it really doesnt matter if i make a normal in gsm or umts system, only video calls drains the batt faster.

It is as close as it can get and definitely closer and more accurate than your and your friends "test".
Even Nokia admits the test is good.
"Nokia's director of sales in the Scandinavian market, Andreas Lundin, tells Amobil.no that measurement of talk time is no exact science.
- The methods used by Amobil.no eliminate quite a bit of uncertainty, since all the phones have been kept in the same place, with sound being transmitted at all times. Still, there will be some natural variation, since you never can be certain that the phones use the same base station. Also, in a normal conversation, there would be a silence in each end 50 percent of the time.
Still, Lundin agrees that this is the closest you can get to measuring talk time in a precise way in a natural user environment. Nokia uses a European standard for measuring talk time, that depends on much more clinical circuimstances"

It is mentioned the test was performed in their office. Now get their address and you can find out if it is located near a base station or not.
Still that does not matter as much as you make it sound as long as the the operation condition was same for all phones.
