How much do you use the phone? I am getting between 50-70 hours with medium use (Bluetooth on Auto), about 3 calls a day, Email checked via GPRS every hour. Browsing and game playing for an hour (max) a day.

I only charged the battery for 4 hours (as the manual recommends) for the first charge, then I let it discharge to empty the first time.

You guys have p800s right?
Mine lasts for about a day also.
But I use it ALOT. Playing doom all the time. I was connected to gprs for two hours today(used irc in some boring classes)

I think this is normal(I've read some threads claiming this)

Do you have the backlight set to "automatic"
(Sounds like you have it set to "on", just a thought)

This phone uses an enormous amount of battery when used.
The difference between power consumption when in standby and while in use is MUCH bigger on this one then on any normal phone. Due to the fast cpu and large screen. It might last quite a while if not used. But once in use it drains battery faster than an old Ford Escort on a cold winters morning(slightly exagerated but you get the picture).

They have batteries for sale at the UK SE eShop. I'm sure I saw them there for just over £30.
Gonna see how I do with one battery for the time being. When I'm out and about, gonna carry my charger with me as well, same as the HBH-30 headset charger.
