Settings->Connectivity->Mobile Networks->GSM/3G networks->GSM only.
That's for a z610, should be the same for a k610 I guess.

Yes - turn off 3G
. Somewhere in Settings > Connections > Mobile Networks and there is a option "GSM only".
But even with 3G activated my battery lasts for about 4 days with regular browsing, calling, listening every day.
Ah yes - switch off bluetooth, too.
Did you charge your battery for approx. 4 hours initially before switching it on? This is very important...

thanks, and yes i did the usual charge / discharge battery thing.
Have turned off bluetooth and see how that goes. If not much better will change to 2g.

The usual charge/discharge is useless with a Li-ion or Li-pol battery.

Which battery does it use, is it the BST-36 or BST-37?
I'm currently using a BST-37 in my K510i out of a K750i, 900mAh compared to the BST-36's 750mAh. The only problem is it's ever so slightly too big, so the rear battery cover bulges slightly at the bottom and it's slightly bending a little clip that's supposed to keep the smaller BST-36 in place, but it works great and I think give slightly longer time away from the charger.

If the battery is new you have to "break it in". Just means it will need to go through a number of full charge and discharge cycles before it reaches full capacity (generally 7-10 cycles).
