Anybody know if it drains a lot of battery to have bluetooth enabled? I saw in the manual that having permanent iRDA would drain a lot, but I cant remember reading anything about bluetooth :-/

I've charged my phone 5-6 times now, and now I'm running it for first time without bluetooth. Now it's about 6 hours since I took it off charging. The status menu now says 268h standby, and 3h23min talktime. I've never seen standby over 200h on it before. But I guess the battery needs to be charged properly a couple of times before it's any good.

mine last about 48 hours.. I think that using the screen will decharge the battery very much faster than if u not use the phone, or even just use the phone to talk... The screen uses much more battery than it uses when we talk in the phone.. maybe GPRS will decharge it faster though..

My standby-time is about 260-270, and talk time 4hours when I don't use bluetooth, and it is about 230 an 3 with bluetooth.

I have a tiny problem with my phone, it freezes sometimes when I'm checking Bluetooth headset-menu. And sometimes it freeze when I use GPRS-WAP, or MP3-player.
The only way to make my phone work again is to remove the battery. Now when it connect the battery and turn the phone on. The battery indicator indicates low battery. But I can still use for 1-1 1/2 day with this battery.

But still because of this, I wouldn't changed phone. T68 rule...
