Cheers Twista for the greeting. I've actually been here before under the name "edskin" but I've rather bizarrely forgotten the password and I've changed email addresses so they wouldn't mail it to me!
I had this problem too. One way to fix it and keep your old account is to PM Laffen and ask him to change the email address they have for you on your old account. If you explain the situation, he probably would.

the basic solution is supposed to be SE giving us a sufficient battery to last us efficiently on normal use... not us paying for and finding a new battery for the fone we paid for!!!!

@tednol - So, it's as simple as just saying 'Get yourselves a spare one ! '
. All along I thought back there that the batt you got from the guy from HK lasts longer than the standard one used in our SE K700/i fone models
. Well anyway, I won't be getting myself a new/spare batt, 'just have to utilize the one I got from the package as far as it goes to it's last 'breath'
then I'll buy me a genuine one mate

From mobileburn.com review:
But before you rally the troops for the party, we have a problem, Houston. The K700i has appalling battery life. As best I can tell, the new display, as I mentioned earlier, eats up battery power like a black hole. The printed claims of 300 hours of standby time and 8 hours of talk time are complete dreams. That kind of performance is from the realm of fiction writers. I believe the typical user will be forced to charge their phone, at minimum, every other day. Make heavy use of Bluetooth? Play games during the morning commute? Then figure on adding "charge phone" to your list of things to do nightly before you go to bed, right after "brush teeth" and before "close eyes." Sony Ericsson has told me that they are working on firmware revisions that they hope will improve that situation. We'll see, I suppose.

I'll probably go down the spare batt and desktop charger route I think, I'm not sure if I can get my firmware updated for free as I bought my phone off Ebay (new from UK seller, I suspect an unwanted upgrade) and have no receipt for it. Could I get it done at a service centre for free still?
If I have to pay £25-£30 to get it done, I'd pay the £7 for the spare battery - a little more inconvenient but a much cheaper option

What is this primary charge that people keep talking about? I charged my phone before use, turned off, for 12 hours, is this it?
BTW, I called SE, and they said that a primary charge thing did not exist for the new models like the K700i, they said you could charge it until the battery was fully charged, and that was it.
And though I used the phone for 3 days, I see that the battery life really is low, I mean even if you only talked and sent messages, and nothing else, I doubt it would last for more than 2 days.

How about using the Nokia BLD-3 battery in the K700i?!
In another forum I visit, one member (thanks bien2) suggested this and it seems to work for his phone. Quote "With light usage, batt life is about 4 days before the batt indicator goes red, that is still about 1/3 of the way full."
bien2, if you are reading this, I hope you don't mind me using your pics here....

I have a BLD-3 Nokia battery. I'd like to try that but I noticed that the terminals on the battery and the on the phone do not line up.
