It will not affect the battery-standby if you have the phone on gprs&gsm.
At least not as long as you dont directly use gprs,..e.g. wap,sms,email.
meaning when you dont use a gprs-feature, it will not affect battery-times.
-------------------
I was told by
that the function that shows battery-standby and talk-time,..actually update every 2 minutes.
I have my T-68 on gprs&gsm, and have standby at approx 320-345 hours,..the talktime goes from 3-8 hours,..again depending on where I'm at.

Are you aware that as you keep on charging your phone each time that your capacity falls? So when new you could have 320 hrs then after 10 charges you could fall to 250 hrs approx
Battery degredation occurs after 10 charges.

Curent batteries used by SonyEricsson are Li-Polymer, so degradation is greatly reduced.
10 charges, negligible. 100 charges, faintly noticeable.
The lives of these batteries should fairly easily match the lives of the phones.

Rubbish Andrew! On paper maybe, but you will see when youve had your battery for 2 months how the standby value reduces after each charge!
Ive had mine since novermber and I think the battery degraded at least 20%! Service centre had to replace my battery with a brand new one
now its much better!

I've also had mine since november and the standby time etc is the same as then.
Maybe you're lame on charging it. I only charge mine when it starts beeping.

Ben,
I think you are going to find yourself on your own (again) on this one.
If you look at the battery and read the back, it's Li-Polymer.
The length of time your battery will last is related to how strong the signal received is, whether you travel with the phone a lot (constantly registering on new base stations), results will vary a lot. But if your battery is degrading in 3 months, you've got a fault.
My phone is 4 months old and battery life is unchanged.

Good morning!
You can turn that GPRS thing off - Communication -data communication - Nr 2 - only GSM... But I don't think that matters... I still have the poor capacity.
Thanks, I didn't know that!
You're right I've just turned it off...hihihi, it's been on all this time for nothing....
What would I do without you Snysop?

But here I have no GPRS network, so isn't my phone constantly searching for it? Like when there is no GSM network...it uses more battery, right?

If I am not wrong, Lithium Polymer battery is NOT supposed to be run-down a lot as it will affect the battery life.
So if you kept on depleting your battery to near-minimal charge or until your unit shutsdown, the battery life may be reduced.
Correct me if I am wrong about this. But this is why I heard, MANY MANY times from Compaq iPaq user. iPaq use Li-Polymer too.
