in 3 days your battery will suck, give it more time to reach the full capacity.

Ah, and you are going to be flamed.

My battery last two days with 2h surfing, 2h playing, 1h of mp3 playing, 2h as a bluetooth modem (GPRS+bt). As for the memory, I have 7 songs, refrains of all that songs, 10 java games, and bunch of pictures, themes and videos (about 10, that lasts 20 sec), and I still got 20 MB of free memory! The trick is, you can convert mp3s in mp4s. Quality is same, but it takes double less memory (in avarage 1,5 Mb)!

>Ok, I'm located in The US and I dunno why every phones I had wouldn't stay more than 2 days.. the battery issues or the the network in USA are SUCK!! in Asia, My phone can stay more than a week...

I didn't quite get that

>Well, I'm not that picky.. I can charge my phone every night but not with SONY ERICSSON K700i. Ok THe phone it self is very cool(mp3, radio, camera) but not as that cool... the memory only 41MB so would u put your favorite songs in that tiny space?

Ever heard of audio encoders/converters and unneeded sound frequencies?

>and the battery!!! It sucks ass!! only last for about 7 hours!!! I turn off the screen saver, themes, low volume, no wap, talk just for couple minutes... still... will not go over 8. what the hell? I read the describtion that this phone has 300H stand by time and 420mins talks time. <-- this is bullshit.

Really? My battery lasts 14 hours,generally using it and phoning most of the time

>Good phone but not that good I'll go back to Nokia or Samsung.

You won't stay long
(edit) About that go back to nokia... I noticed you signed up over a year ago so i went and searched... Heh you had T610 before and thought the S40 was better.. Man i feel sorry for you After the Ericsson T20s, my next phone was 7210.. lasted 6 months.. I needed so much to get rid of it that I was the first person in my town to buy the T610..
Go back to Nokia then that's the kind of people that insist on nokia! yes i know it happens to be 1/3 of the population (edit)

> ANYONE IN USA WILLING TO TRADE THIS SUCK ASS PHONE? PLEASE REPLY ME, I got this phone 3 days ago(I have receipt for proof) I'm looking for the color phone which has better battery life.

You mean a colour phone which has better battery life (?)

Ah.. these are the consequences of the three extra votes ..poor chap..

Actually...... it does appear that phones on 1900 mhz consume more battery power than on 900/1800 mhz.

Don't ask me why coz I can't begin to imagine...... but don't rule this out,

A nice friendly and constructive post. My compliments. Please don't use 'we' though as 'we' have thousands of opinions and 'we' don't necessarily all want to be associated with your post.
