I play Poker a fairbit though so thumbs up to that one. The dictionary is quite handy when I'm not near a computer to.One thing that does piss me off is sometimes it won't send or receive pxt messages and sometimes it wil send them 2 or 3 times.I've also noticed battery life is crap. Nothing like what they say on the website. I've been working nightshift for the past week and only use it on the way to and from work for about 10 minutes either way playing Poker and I can only get 3 days out of it before it needs charging.That's without using it or sending any messages.But apart from that I reckon it's a good thing.

It sucks the juice real bad.A couple of the apps I got are unblock me puzzle and labrinth. A bit addictive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a lot better than the O2 I had before, with light usage.Maybe Bluetooth kills the battery life. Seemed to be the case with other phones I've had.Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Full Monty Member 513 Member For: 17y 6m 26d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 20/07/09 02:48 AM Share Posted 20/07/09 02:48 AM I leave Wi-fi and bluetooth off unless I need them, as it constantly searches for connections, draining battery. Also instead of Push email, set it to fetch every 30 mins. Saves a fair bit of battery usage.also if you havent, lower the screen brightness, as standard its blindingly bright. I have mine at 50% and its plenty bright enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found out one of the biggest issues with these things and batty juice is the 3g connection.I have mine on 24/7 and have to leave on it charge every time its in the car, next to the PC, and beside the bed... I'm lucky to get about half a days worth of work out of mine before it hits below 25%.Turn off the 3G option when its not required and it will last a lot longer...I run the WiFi when at home, and 3G most of the time during the day and it only needs to be on for a few mins before it looks like its running out of puff...Mind you my mobile bills are well over 30+ pages a month, so it does get a flogging each day... 2Days and 4Hrs racked up on the counter since reset at the time I posted the first post on the thread (20/07/09 @ 12am)...Anyone think I might have cancer or a brain tumor?
