@stevenlau - Have you tried the R2L . . . firmware upgrade mate
Some upgraders here says that it increases the batt's life by 30% - more
Personally, after buying my K700i for a week, I was disgruntled as well by it's performance
But having compared it's features with my Nokia 7610 back then, it's quite a much better model I guess by now
You will get used to it I tell you pal, unless if you are planning to get the SE S700 this coming 4th quarter

I have a T230 and it lasts more than 5 days and I use to play on it, talk and everything. I was thinking of buying a k700i. I don't think that the battery lasts for only hours, cause noone whould buy a phone like this! There must be something you're doing wrong or the battery is defected: buy a new one. If all k700i-s are acting like this than I should say that the k700i is crap, but like i say: I DON'T THNK SO! }-(

My brother uses his phone pretty much, like the common user i think. After the upgrade and loading the phone about 12-14 hours 5-6 times he now have about 5 days of use.
My father who´s a extreme user of phone can use his about 2-3 days. Bluetooth, 3-4 hours of talking every day, showing it for customers and so on. That´s not bad.

Actually...... it does appear that phones on 1900 mhz consume more battery power than on 900/1800 mhz.
Don't ask me why coz I can't begin to imagine...... but don't rule this out.
The higher the frequency of a signal, the greater its attenuation (think "erosion") over a given distance. That's why an 850MHz base station will have a greater range than a 1900MHz for comparable power output levels. In addition, high frequency signals tend to bounce off hard surfaces instead of penetrate them. These two things combined means you're much more likely to get (and transmit) an 850MHz signal indoors than a 1900MHz, or for Europe, a 900MHz signal rather than an 1800MHz signal.
As for battery life, if a phone adapts to network conditions, it will increase its power level in weak signal areas. If you're more likely to have weak signal areas with 1800/1900, then phones operating in those bands will be more likely to consume more power. Or so my logic would tell me. I don't know if there's something inherent to 850 vs 1900 that dictates whether one radio uses more power than another, however (I'm not an EE).
Hope that helps.
