Has anyone noticed that their standby time on the P800 is about 3-4 days? I use my phone on WAP amnd e-mail most days, and a few SMS,but I keep having to charge the phone up. It can drop the battery % very quickly over just one day. Also, the phone was supposed to have over 400 hours standby, but the Orange (UK) literature states up to 7 days. Hmmmmmm. Am I alone on this?

If you use your phone its not gonna last 400hours is it? The phones not on standby when your using it! My battery wasnt lasting long for the first few days, but after a few chargers it is lasting now Just wait!

Good things come to those who wait!

the standby times are allways lower then what they tell ya! and standby means u leave it on and dont touch it!!!

and the standby times they give are on these terms
1. u switch the phone on and find a network signal
2. the phone lies in a place at room temp
3. the phone is on a full charge when its left on standby
4. the sreensaver is activated! to save even more power

And it has to be lying practically next to a gsm station with Absolutely optimal signal strength...

I'm seriously tired of these threads....

Yep.. when I use GPRS and opera fairly intensively I often don't get a full day.

That combined that if you go away anywhere (and forget the charger) but need the the alarms, you have to leave the phone on overnight....

Means I didn't have a mobile for most of the weekend

I get 2 days... with surfing, email, SMS, and a couple of calls... the one that eats the post power are the backlight, and leaving BLuetooth ON ... leaving Bluetooth on AUTO hardly eats up any battery.

Other phones I've had will usually get around 3/4 or more of the talk and standby times specified.

The P800 will not come even close to the claimed times. Maybe 1/10. That's way too much difference to be acceptable. SE needs to change their specs to more realistic numbers. No one is going to get even 1/4 of their claimed 13 hours talk time.

Hmm
I got 4 days with some of Surf with Opera, and some calls, email.
It's good, I was worried before when it only can stay out 2 days... But 4 days is OK
