Not sure if you will get it free. But because the phone hasnt been out for a year yet, if you sweet talk the person in the shop they would hopefully be able to do it free for you.

Jus, when you first got the phone did you do a full charge? By that I mean over night for around 14 hrs? Although most manuals say charge for 4 hrs you really should leave it charging overnight the first time. If you haven't done it yet, let the battery run flat (the phone switches itself off), then charge it continuously over night for at least 14 hrs. Use the phone and repeat this procedure a couple of times.
I've found that by doing it this way the battery life improves. The first time I got my K700 the battery lasted 2 days with minimal use, now it's up to 5 days. Hopefully the upcoming firmware upgrade will extend it further.
What really gets up my nose was the fact that they say the battery should last over 12 days in optimal conditions. Don't know how they ended up with that figure!

I've done that, not hardly any difference, it made a little bit, but nothing to shout about, I'm struggling to get it through half a day, and I'm a light user, I'm going to be calling SE and O2 Today, so wish me luck and we'll see if I can find a solution.

Well i've just phoned SE and they've refered me to Hays Technology in Banbury to send the phone away for a firmware upgrade, I insisted that there was a problem with battery life and an upgrade would fix it, however the person working at SE denied there was any problem with the K700i with regards to battery life and that no new firmware was out.
Anyway, When I get a few spare minutes later on I'll let you know how it goes and what they say, if they say there is no new firmware I think I'm going to SCREAM!
Address for anyone thats interested:
Unit 2A Appletree Road, Chipping Warden, Banbury, Oxfordshire OX17 1LL
Tel:
01295662101

Well I got through to Hays and they have told me to send the phone boxed with proof of purcahse to them and they will either repair it if it's a free service or send me an estimate if it's paid work.
They won't charge me for it will they? Any idea of how long they take?
