You know, I've never actually considered that. I guess it just uses a lot of battery power to keep searching for signal?

Yup! Even worse is a little bit of signal: The phone can receive but isn't powerful enough to answer the signals from the base station... Heavy usage bat. life for me: ~8 Hours

SMan is a very useful app that shows what other apps are currently running on ur phone. The more that are running, the more of ur battery they use up.
SMan can then flush out those apps just leaving the one u need running.
U can d/load it from my-symbian.com amongst other places

Me too, i get 2 days usage out of a P900 including leaving it on standby all night, listening to about half hour of oggs on the train, 10 calls per day, 20 missed calls, checking email, 10 sms, etc. If you go away for a few days forget your charger and really try to conserve battery life you'll get 3 or 4 days at a push.
Can anyone tell me if its bad to charge your phone and leave it on all night on charge, say for example if its only half battery life. A friend has one of those trio phones, you know the ones with a qwerty keyboard on the front and it explicity says in the manual it actually good for the battery on that phone to always be on charge and fine for it to be always resting on the cradle charging when you are at home and not using it....

Roboprof!
I got the exact same problem. I got only about 7-8 hours of standby. Even after resetting the phone to factory settings and after uninstalling every single extra application.
Left the phone for service now and I'm really expecting a miracle...
When I was to buy the P800 I first hestitated, but the incredible standby-time of 400 hrs made me change my mind.
I would accept no less than 250-300 hours of standby, i.e 60-70% of the specified standby time.
I got a question by the way:
The service folks says that if your responsible for any damage, the warranty is not valid. Is it considered to "damage" the phone by installing unsigned software ?? I mean, I obviously got an hardware failure, could an application irreversibly "damage" the hardware ?

Roboprof,
I got my phone back from service now, nothing wrong with the phone the claimed.
Before I left it for service I made a master reset on the phone.
So: I realized that the applications that are on my phone drained the battery very fast.
I downloaded SMan and saw that alot of programs were active for hours after I used them, for example chess, solitaire, CommuniCam ......
So, since I've modified SMAN to kill all unnecessary tasks when flip is closed, My standbytime is now excellent.
It now drains about 3% in 7-8 hours (without flight-mode) which should be about 33*7.5= 250 hours.
BTW:
SonyEricsson Claims that you cannot use an old SIM-card since this will drain your battery fast.
