I have a real need to have Bluetooth enabled on my T68i - between synchronizing my contacts and SMSs to sending and receiving things between the phone and laptop. Since I got my T68i about 10 days ago until now, I have had Bluetooth off all the time and only enable it when I need to use it. As you can imagine this can be quite a pain. My question is this: will leaving Bluetooth enabled on the phone all the time (for reasons of practicality) significantly lessen the phone's efficiency with battery consumption? Will it totally kill the battery? Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,
Mimzo

Leaving bluetooth on all the time drains the battery like there is no tommorow, if you have a spare battery handy then leave the bluetooth on all the time then.

i agree tht leaving the function on will drain the batt as the flickering LED ... therefore i choose auto to pair the device ... i am using the HBH 15 ..

You can leave it on if you have a Bluetooth handsfree, Bluetooth is still pretty low power consumption - supposedly less power than infrared (but there's little point having infrared on all the time).

Unless you don't go home (to recharge) every other day, it's not too bad.

Once I left Bluetooth on continously for a whole day without realising it. When I switched it off, I noticed no difference at all on the remaining battery life. Therefore, as far as I am concerned its alright to leave the bluetooth on all the time as power consumption is pretty low.
