When pressing the slide button on the side on the T68 which brings up status, my standby reads as 8 hours max, fully charged!I read a post where someone else was talking of their "extremly" short battery life of "only two days"-but i have to charge each and every day!Isn't most people's T68 battery life 200+ hours? Can anyone suggest reasons for my pathetically short battery life, and what i can do to help the situation? Taking it back to my dealer isn't really an option, since I bought it offline from ebay, and it is Malaysian spec, and i'm in England. Help anyone?!

check the settings for example display light... if you have the light turned on all time you get much shorter battery time... the same goes with the bluetooth settings..

from my experience, battery life increases as you charge your battery over and over again. this is especially true if the phone/battery is new.

thanks guys-Cytech in particular! The display light was the problem, and as soon as I switched it onto automatic, the battery went from 3 1/2 hours to 130! I don't half feel stupid though!!

You may have a 'dud battery', if you take it to your nearest Service Center, they'll do a check on it and give you a new one. But I had the same problem in the beginning, which really pissed me off, but now it's fine and lasts a week...
