Ive had two nokia series 60 phones and the battery is the worst thing ive ever seen. I had to charge it every night so i didnt go out of power. But the futures on most nokia series 60 phones is incredible compared to the size. Except from power and the lack of ram memory. But
uiq phones have that aswell. So as i can see they both are realy god competitors to each other.

I think every one is going to have to get used to this with batteries untill some major new technology comes along. Nobody gets pissed off when their laptop dies after 4 hours or their digicam or their gps batteries run out. A smartphone performs far more functions than phone used to even a couple of years ago and it has a brighter bigger higher res. screen. I really can't see whats the big deal in sticking it in a charger by the side of your bed every night before you sleep or topping it up in your car. The screen sizes, functions and so on just keep increasing but a Li-ion battery is a Li-ion battery- it can't get any smaller.

Two faults with your reasoning.
4 yrs ago a laptop with just 1 9cell battery Li-ION could NOT get more than 3hrs of normal MS Word processing with MP3 playback continuously. Let alone watching a DVD from FULL charge completely, you'd miss the last 45mins. Today we're getting 4-6 hours on 1 just 1 battery. The battery technology is ALREADY there; its called Lithium-Polymer! Its what SE phones have built a staple on. Nokia has been VERY retarded to ignore this EVEN when old laptop batteries based on lithium-ION have sparked/exploded/caught on fire.
With Lithium-Polymer the battery power increases noticeably, furthermore the shape of the battery can be molded within reason & even be folded to compress its size. Sure there is still a DIRECT correlation between battery strength & size; then its UP to the engineers to make the phone more ... hmm ... lets say FRUGAL/SCROOGE when it comes to power consumption. Nokia has NO engineers that realize this. Even with great products like the N80/E70/N95 I will NOT purchase them UNTIL I can see great improvements in power consumption being lessened. And already their using Texas Instruments OMAP cpu's; the best at power consumption/performance for mobile devices in the industry.
S60 & UIQ should be tweaked for efficiency. I DONT need an alarm notificatoin to take up the WHOLE screen keeping the backlight on. Especially if I've set 15 different alarms per day. (not that I do but you can see the power needed to execute this.) If I'm set to a profile like MEETING then ONLY a small strip of the LED should be lit to show a brief synopsis of info with the ability to SIDE-SCROLL or the ability to pull UP the FULL information. This is something that the PALM OS 6 COBALT was gonna be and was gutted for no apparent reason. Design costs, BULL.
The technology for highly reflective backpanels should be in use with the light sensor if sunlight or indoor office light is highly in use. There should be NO power needed to power the LCD, yet the LCD should CLEARLY show information. Would the LightSensor consume power more than a backlight to be able to enable the backlight on the fly when sudden darkness ensues?!
This is just a FEW examples that EVERY smartphone manufacturer should consider.
