Hi there i would like to know if my phone's batt life of 3 days standby with normal talking usage (bt 1hour) and bt 10smses and a little bit of infrared and bluetooth is normal? is it normal or anyone here got longer times? I switch off BT and IR all the time.

GPRS - is it true that if my phone is a non local set therefore i can't use the GPRS by a local provider? I can't use my Singapore bought T68i in Malaysia under DIgi GPRS. anyone has a similar problem?

thanks!

Before some clever clog tells you to read the FAQ, I would say that the battery life is vastly affected simply by playing with the menus and leaving GPRS turned on. My battery improved after a few recharges. This is weird as lithium polymer batteries shouldn't have a memory effect.
Another explannation for the improved battery is that I don't play with the menus any more!
