I think its normal for a device with large screen couped with only 900mah battrey. so I guess SE should launch a big capacity batt.

SO As Time goes by, and I charge it up fully i should notice an improvement on standby time ? ? ?
I certainly hope that that is the case.
Is there really any hope that SONY would come out with a larger capacity battery for this phone? I thought that was not possible.
ALSO . thanks JAH . I'm switching to GSM only to see if that makes a difference .

This T-mobile TZONES 'ish is killing me as I can't seem to get neither my 4Smartphone.net account / nor any chat clients to work. I feel like its something to do with the GPRS WAP service that Tzones offers . . .
yikes. that's off the topic. sorry about that .
I'll see what happens today with the battery life.
Thanks again all .

WELL NOW THIS IS RIDICULOUS / / /
I've been charging the phone for 8 hours, while the phone was turned OFF.
I turn it one to find it displaying a 42% charge. W T F ? ? ?
Could this just be a defective battery or is there something else at play .
Like I said, I've already updated the firmware to R4 or whatnot . . .
How can I calibrate this battery ?
thanks again everyone .

@Prae,
I use a GSM network and use the phone primarily for texting and phone calls but i do check emails & RSS quite a bit through GPRS. My battery typically lasts for two days on a full charge

Well, I get the same battery stand-by of one day but with heavy usage. I mean, what do you expect with the phone constantly on making calls and browsing internet, reading mails and connecting to the BT headset?!
I am pleased with its performance while I admit it's not nice to discharge at 19.00, I can always plug it in the car charger for some extra-juice.

@Prae,
You seem to be able to read on the Internet about different techniques to manage battery life but you can spend the time to read the manual to turn off 3G?
Your battery is defective it seems. Take it back and have them test it.

I don't think the battery is defective, just a lot of usage or poorer signal coverage...
And, yes, 3G, eats up a lot of battery power, so if you want, don't use it but then your internet connection will be MUCH slower.

Hi prae,
If you are using R4 you definitely need to update your firmware as it is now on R9. Although i have only had my phone for 3 days i am experiencing none of the problems you mention and am on 3G always which uses more power than GSM.
Just a couple of questions when you got your phone how long did you charge it for prior to using it?
Are you charging it via USB or the mains?
I would suggest letting the battery get as low as possible and then leaving it on charge over night with the phone switched off and definitely upgrade to the latest firmware hope that helps.
