you know what swag. i love my p800 too much. i might as well just shell out for a new battery. cheers mate.
ps-could you do me a favour and take a picture of something with your t610 and p800. just to compare quality. i dont care what anyone says, but so far my 7650 pics have just edged ahead of the p800's.

i don't have the T610, but i've heard that the camera is not that good...
I agree that the 7650 camera seems a little better than the P800 one... But it doesn't really matter to me, cause a didn't buy the P800 because of the camera... But, it's nice to have...

@lord viper, just needed to clear something up, someone earlier got confused and thought you had a special multiple sim, when infact it was obvious from your posts that you "sim swop" same as i do, with an "unlocked phone".
BUT although it doesnt relate in any way to your problems i thought you may need to be aware that you CAN in fact have more than one network on a single sim, they are sold as a kit in japan & you "program your sims onto it (up to 8 different sims) then put it in your phone & you have a new menu to choose the one you want to use (only one is live at any given time) they were designed for phones with no room for a twin sim holder. BTW they dont work with some UK sims acording to the website.

@lord viper:
"se claim i overcharged the phone"
It is impossible to overcharge the phone unless you will be periodically inserting and removing the charger connector! So go away with this crap, man!

lead. you fool!
do you know anything about this phone?!!!!
overcharging appears to be a common problem.
do a search you plank.
dont waste post space.
and how is a 3650 better than a p800?
also multi-sims do not work in the uk.
apoligies if i made it sound as though i was using one.

Just a thought, but are you conditioning the battery on the first charge. I can't see anywhere in my (Orange provided) manual that tells you to do so, but the salesman in the Orange Shop I got mine from told me to leave it for 16 hours on the first charge so I did.
My battery life was good to begin with (3 days) and after the first 5 or so charges, has become excellent. I typically get a full working week (5 days) out of mine, and let it sit in the cradle over the weekend. I have the backlight set to time out at 30 seconds, and shut down all unnecessary programs (I found Calculator, of all things, to be a real drain!).
Overcharging shouldn't be an issue as it's a Li-Polymer battery.
Best of luck

thanks for the tip kowalski.
i must admit on my first p800 i totally ignored the 16hour advice. but not on my second or third. the battery did peak and become exceptionally good, nut then overnight it changed. it died by the time i got to work. at first i though i didnt sit it in the cradle correctly, so i charged it when i got to work. it died by lunchtime. thats when i knew something was wrong.
i tested it over a period of two weeks to make sure and it got worse. se gave me two explanations
1-using the charger. impossible.
2-the batt had reached the end of its life. weird.
seeing as extremely few people have even heard of this problem i think it must just be me and a few others experiencing it. but that still doesnt explain it.
and se customer service is crap. their technicians told me to charge my battery every time i contacted them.

lord viper,
Sorry to hear about that. I'm quite happy with my own P800.
Have you tried the new SMan program? It ensures that your running applications all get closed when your phone is in flip closed mode, this should improve your battery time.
The technician from SE told you BS. You can charge the battery when ever you want, it does not harm it (in fact, it's usually better than charging only when it's near drained state).
Other than applications, GSM reception and options like GPRS (should be set to GSM only and only connect when you need it), screen saver (disabled, only power saving mode should be used) and BT (should be set to off when not in use) can affect battery time.
If your GSM reception sucks, your battery time will suck because the P800 uses more energy to try and connect to your cellular base. If you are often in locations where there is no reception or nearly none, you might want to turn your phone to airplane mode.
