re: battery capacity
Masseur, funny that, I started to keep a detailed log today of my usage. Will post results tomorrow (using my original battery which has had two full charges and lots of quick charges via USB).
USB charging - people please read the manual on this. Not recommended if you use a laptop on battery power or a USB hub

oh, and the other annoyance was the backlight dimming when I am only half way through reading an email or web page andtere seems to be no way of adjusting the timeout!
I've checked the settings and the manual and just don't find anyway to change that, so I have to keep moving the jog dial or pressing the shift key
did I miss something somewhere? it just seems to be a really really short timeout

re: quick dimming
Masseur, I agree a real pain especially when you trying to read an ebook using Mobipocket and the display goes dim.

no there's no way to change the backlight fade time.
Another annoying thing: Predictive text is nice but shouldn't it give the option of leaving a space after the inserted word, cause without it u have to needlessly press the space key every time u insert a predicted word, why make us press extra keys?

ok, I've figured out the backlight dimming. There are three settings, all in Tools -> Control Panel - > Device that affect it
by default we have the auto mode that simply dimms the backlight to OFF after about 15-20 seconds
Going into the backlight settings in the Device menu, you can change the handhels setting to ON. This means the light will remain on indefinitly, however it can be restricted to only be ON for the period specified by the Power Save settings (also found in the backlight menu). When that time expires the backlight will be switched off.
Unfortunately the backlight still starts to dim after the 15 to 20 seconds mentioned earlier BUT... it only dims to the level that is set in the Backlight -> Brightness - > Handheld (dimmed) setting so if you adjust that to the same level as the Handheld (normal) level (by default 90%), then you get a constant backlight for the period specified in the Power Save settings after which the backlight then goes off.
so, to summarize, go to Tools - Control Panel -> Device -> Backlight
in Settings, set Handheld to ON
in Brightness -> backlight set Handheld (dimmed) to the same level as Handheld (normal)
in Power Save tick the Power save enabled and set the "active after" to the backlight timeout you want

Ok so i thought i would give the phone another chance...so reflashed the firmware as advised and everything looked brillant, applications were opening at good speed...and just as i thought that i judged the phone TOO quickly, i synced the phone with outlook...and BAM...the phone has now gone to snail pace...i cant even scroll through the different applications without there being a ridculous S-L-O-W down....so frustrating cause i really want to use this phone but the software is still too frustrating to us...come on SE release a new firmware!

@Gabster, if you have time, do a Master Reset then only re-sync one item of the PIM at a time (e.g. start with only syncing Contacts) and see what happens. This was we should be able to see which app is causing problems. Also disable on-screen handwritting recoginition.
@Masseur, great find on the dimming control

yeah, not exactly the most obvious thing, and I feel that the power save settings could have been another tab of the backlight settings rather than something totally separate since even the manual describes it as a function for controlling the backlight!

@Gabster - My money is on your calender being the culprit. On mine I had birthdays setup within Outlook as appointments which had been set by using the birthday field in my Outlook Contacts.
As soon as these sync it caused all sorts og hangs and slowdowns with the M600i.
The definitely seems to be issues with all day recurring appointments, although I haven't yet pointpointed the exact circumstances that cause the problem as sometimes manually added appointments work fine.
My suggestion would be to delete everything from your calender on the M600 and try re-syncing without syncing the calender to see if it makes a difference.
Also worth noting that bithdays worked fine when added automatically on the M600 using the contacts birthday field there.
