Hey i had my t630 about a month now, and basically im really dissapoited in the battery life, ok i use it with a blue tooth had set, and probable have about half an hour of calls a day, and send ruffly 40 messages a day, but i find my self recharging it every night, is it me or does this seem really poor, can probable make a day and a half, what do you pro's think

Thats very good sb time! If i use my t610 normally the batt lasts 2 3 days long. If i use gprs 4 5 hours long, have to charge again.

The battery performance specified by the mobile phone manufacturers are probably laboratory figures. In reality it's unlikely that one can get these specified standby- and talktimes.
My experience is that it's very rare indeed.
In practical everyday use, don't expect very much more than half of the specified standby- and talktimes.

@boba and bico
yeah ur right! i didnt use my t300 heavily and when i got my p800 i did and was surprised about the battery! its normal that i charge it nightly now.
you maybe could try and check to see if you always have bluetooth on which may help increase standby levels in your battery

Yes, the T68i gets better battery life even using Bluetooth (which increases consumption during calls)... so a 30 min call using bluetooth eats up about 50min worth of battery.
AND... just to let you know... the more you fiddle with your phone, even when you're not making calls or sending SMS, eats up power due to the screen and backlight...specially on the P800.
On the P800/900, the screen actually eats up more power than making a call.
The standby times, are just that... STAND BY TIMES... not "I use the phone heavily everyday with all the features turned on" times.
I get 2 days worth of power with my P800... bluetooth is ON (not Auto), but only used in the car.
Another thing, you'll find that SE phones, the red bar actually still gives you decent power left over.... unlike Nokia's which die at half bar... I've gone through an evening on my P800 with the battery indiciator on red. It lasted about 5 hours more, with a few min of calls, and about 10 SMS that night... it almost made it home, but then I was already in my car, on my way home. I didn't bother charging it in the car anymore, just waited to get home... but I keep a charger in the car just in case.
I have yet to see a Nokia that can even last a decent full work day. I haven't seen any other phone manufacturer that can compete with SE in terms of battery life... with the same mAh capacity batteries, and the same screen size and bit depth. If you want a phone that hardly dies... get an old T39 or R520, then get the high capacity battery... it lasts almost 3 weeks.

I'm happy with my T630 battery life. It seems equal to or better than the T610, not that I have done any scientific research on this
I stick my phones on chargers each night and often look at the battery meter before doing so and this is my only way of comparing. I'd say most days its at about 80% by that time and I've always had bluetooth ON 100% of the time since the days of the T68
don't forget that other factors affect your battery such as signal strength etc

I think the T610 battery is great. Considering how small it is. It has to support quite a large screen. I get about 2 hours talktime and/or at least 3 days standby. O, And i leave my bluetooth on ALL the time.
