Welcome here! Here are many discussions of k7 and batt life, as i see its a very weak batt, but our usage is individual.

how much is that in US dollars? and the battery life isn that bad. i get anywhere from 1-2 days out of it. depends on the usage. if i use it a lot it will be down to about 50-25 percent battery left at the end of the day. if normal use i can make it through the second day with the same amount of battery life.

360 - 400 CDN = 295 - 330 USD
wow 1-2 days thats really bad compared to my v220 which lasts me about a week with maybe 2-3 calls a day

295-330 is a good price for the phone. if the battery life thing bothers you then you might want to think it over first. i havent experienced many phones that wernt a SE. personally it doesnt bother me to charge the phone every night or everyother night. i just plug it in before i work out and then unplug it when i get up in the morning.
on an average day i play games for a little and listen to music and surf wap for a few hours. then take pictures/videos for i dunno half an hour. i always leave my bluetooth on. oh and of course make a few calls.

you'll get 1 day battery life with "heavy use",2 >2.5 with moderate,and 4days with very little use.it also depends upon network and signal levels though.

Battery improves after 4 or 5 recharges, if you dont use bluetooth over an extended period of time, batt life is good.

i use
constantly (always on 24/7) and i've had no adverse effects sp far on my battery life
it doesnt really matter whether you have bt on or not, turning it off will add maybe a few hours to your standby time (which is practically nothing, i've had 3 hours standby with a "battery low" signal)
