[Madaz]

all depends on usage and whats enabled

i can take the phone off charger when i get to work @ 6:45am have the phone automatically check for emails every 10mins play some games at smoko and lunch plus checking emails and make it home with a little bit left @ 4:20pm

Depends on the phone, usage, etc. With mine, I'll get about 1+1/2 days with pretty heavy usage, Wifi, etc. Can stretch it to 2 if I don't use it too often. I charge every night anyways so it doesn't bother me. Unfortunately the days of getting 5 days out of a full charge is long gone and left behind with the old 3315 Nokia's. However what these phones do these days it's not surprising battery life isn't the same

edit: I'm just being a dick now.

My iPhone 4 lasts about the same, 1 day with heavy usage, 2 days without.

No surprises, most modern day smart phones have around the same usage. Unfortunately battery technology has remained relatively stagnant over the years in comparison

yeh sweet, i get a full day of heavy usage with full screen brightness.

gotta say you would think battery technology would improve.

Rooting the phone, installing a custom ROM and a modified kernel will give you better usage, how much exactly I'm unsure but there's gains to be had

[rad100]

ive been googling roms etc to gain knowledge but still finding it difficult to wrap my head around the interface.

but ill leave it up to you

[heslo]

LOL too easy

[kralster]

My current Blackberry is easily the best phone I've ever had. Get at least 2 days out of it if I have a lot of calls, and email is constantly pushed to it all over the world.

[rad100]

i used to owm blackberry, nowmy other half does! very good phones!

[Damo_R34]

Yeah +1 on Blackberry email, constantly updates your inbox. With the HTC, i seem to get emails in batches

[rad100]

damo i set my htc to get emails every 5 mins.

[Damo_R34]

Ahh yep i just changed mine. It could also be because of Vodafones shit coverage...

[Madaz]

LOL I don't have too many drama's with vf

[Damo_R34]

My internet is SO slow, you have to be in a good 3g zone to get any decent speed out of it. Works mint at home on full wireless broadband signal!

[dark.sky]

I've got my email set up to 'push', so it doesn't check it on it's own, but I get it as my email account receives it.

Sounds like it may be a network issue Damo, my phone is fast on the net pretty much everywhere.

Edit: Just ask the people at Kadina who stole my phone and were watching Redtube on it LOL.
