The recall isn't for the K700i, it's for the charger.

That doesn't help me, I use the rapid travel charger from my old SE T39m and battery life still blows.

maybe it was a wrong choice of SE to put in a 650 Mah Li-Ion battery. (imo it is) The T610 has a more powerfull battery! Awefull!
But, dispite this problem, still in love with SE
I just hope i can buy a 900 Mah Li-Polimer battery soon enough.
The T610 has a Li-Polymer 770 mAh battery
The K700 has a Li-ion 700 mAh battery, not 650 mAh.

Some people have suggested that the battery in the K700 is inferior compared to the one used in the T610 (T610 used a Li-Polymer while the K700 uses the not so great Li-Ion). I purchased a desktop charger and spare battery from eBay. The battery was a Li-Poly battery. I was very happy, I thought at least I would have good life from the phone but I can confidently say there is not really any difference, the K700 still drains the battery like a vampire drains blood!
So in short, having a 770mah Li-Poly battery does not inmprove the battery life over the Li-ion supplied!

upgrade your FW to R2L.

Upgrading the firmware may or may not reduce the power consumption, I don't know, but I don't think that it could make a very big impact, unless there are very seriuos design flaws in the sw, such that infinite loops or not turning off the display light is the result of the software error. The specs says standby time for about 300 hours, but who would leave their new K700 untouched but switched on for 12,5 days? The talktime, 8 hours, is a more realistic value for how long time the battery lasts.
BTW: my phone came with R2A, and I haven't upgraded the sw yet. What are the differences? So far, I have discovered two bugs: It's not possible to remove items from a group list in the phonebook, and the phone lock mode "automatic" does not work, it prompts for the phone lock code every time I switch on the phone. Are these problems solved in the latest FW version?

I bought a spare battery and desktop charger off Ebay for £8 inc. delivery
here.
The battery that came, although it looked like a genuine SE, I suspect is a fake. It also claims to be a Li-Pol battery, and so far it appears to last longer than the genuine Li-ion battery!
