Yes. Been browsing on mine today for 5 hours. Opera 10% usage. Apps dont use much. Ads in apps do.

I think at around the 10 hours mark yesterday with keeping screen on all day 3G on and using it for things I wouldnt normally do it was down to about 25%. So I can see now why people arent happy when using it heavily, thats not a lot of use. But with that said it didnt jump down in huge chunks it was just a fast gradual drain.

After upgrading to 2.3.6 from 2.3.3 battery life seems a large jump up, in 10 hours its used 4% battery and the awake periods on the battery graph are tiny so the phone seems to go back to sleep much quicker.

Did you do that through Kies?

Edit- Actually you have to stop thinking about it as a phone and start thinking about it as a computer. 10 hours is great by any laptop standard.

but it is a phone.

95% of my use on it is as a phone.

I understand your view if I was using it on the net etc. all the time but I dont.

Well, if you're gonna use it just for calls, make sure you do it on 2G which makes the battery last longer. You didn't read the phone spec sheet, did you?

Obviously I do turn 3G off unless I need it.

Yeah, if you STAY on 2G, you'll get a better battery life than switching between 3G/2G. But oh well. Lol your phone.

It's a smartphone. Which is marketspeak for a computer with phone capabilities. The clue is in the fact that it has a CPU, GPU, RAM and an OS, all things a phone has no real need for in that form.
