1 hour talk, 20 min voip, 45 min web browsing and push imap always on. throw in a couple of text messages and i have to charge the phone every night. a phone which offers all these functions should be able to do them for 2 days. now i can't spend the night somewhere without bringing a charger.

I noticed a very fast drainage of the battery when the camera is on "stand-by" = when you take a picture and you don't turn off the camera; you keep it as it it, in order to be prepared for an unexpected shot.
In flight mode, the camera went from 60% to 0 in 2 hours, with only some notes being written ...

reply to all of your problems: turn the backlighting to 40-50% and disable 3g coverage.... on moderate uses, the battery should last up to 3-4 days

Yep. That post should be a part of the guide someone was writing, maritus.
(Also a good idea: turn off the bluetooth/wifi modem when it's not used, and end the camera- app once in a while. As well as don't let instant messenger programs stay in the back when you're not using them, even if the connection times out. Very few of those programs don't have some sort of process going to check for connections - which draws battery power.)

Is the P1 battery life better than the w960?

I'am away for a week and I don't use the phone so much (just 2-3 calls, a few pictures, no internet, no email) and I still have 70% of the battery after 2 days. It'll stay like this for at least 4-5 days. So , you see, the battery is not bad after all.

Hi, after disable the 3G function , the battery seems to last longer... around 2-3 days .. I am not a heavy user .. that is why i am not satify with the battery life.

You all have to understand the signal on 2G and 3G/UMTS make a lot of difference in the distance from the operator antena. Making a simple comparrisson:
2G is like AM radio. You can hear it miles away from the antena.
UMTS is like FM. You can only hear local radio stations (mostly).
If your area doesn't have a really good UMTS coverage, your phone will spend a lot of battery just report it's "alive" in the network.
The P1 manual says that the UMTS network spends 60% (!!!) more battery than 2G !
Conclusion: If you don't need UMTS, avoid using it.

GSM can be "heard" at max 36km (TA=64), and could be compared to FM.
UMTS could be compared to DAB.
AM could be relativised to NMT on 450MHz.
Off-topic, I know
