[Q] Battery life?

[Deformat]

Yeah, curious on how the Lumia 800's battery goes. I'd love to switch to Nokia, but the 900 is too expensive for me.

All I might use is:
-3G
-Wi-Fi in case I know that it works at home
-an occasional game (aka max. 5 min/day)
-about 15-20 min. of music/day.

So, how will the battery manage it?

Also, how does the battery react after that "battery-tripling" update?

I'm wondering the same, I love wp7 and am about to swap my sensation for a lumia 800. Surely it can't be as bad as an android phone like my sensation right? Cause that only lasts 12 hours Max with what I do which is play the odd game, send about 20 texts a day and about an hour or 2 of browsing.

I use my lumia 800 all day, I mean I really use it :

writting about 20-30 sms

3G internet is on all time becouse I use the phone for business so,
sending 40-50 E-mails /day

The E-mail synchronisation is all time on with instant synchronisation with IMAP server so i instantly get the e-mail when it's arrives

PLay games ~30 min / day
Talking 3-4 hours (3G) /day

Browsing 1-2 hours

And I get 8-9% Battery life at the end of the day.

So like any other smart phone I can say If you use it, you have to charge it every night.
Before lumia i had a C7 (which I accidentally throw out of a window ) It was the same thing about that phone i hadd to charge it every night.

But hey I'm not dissapointed about this, it last very long if you dont browsing sending e-mails all day like me, on hollydays i barely use it, and then it keeps the charging very vell then with one charge iit lasts 3-4 days ( usualy i only make phone calls on hollydays)

Sorry for my poor English
Hope I could give some usable answer

Thanks! That helps me. My sensation dies before I leave work sometimes so as long as I haven't got to take my charger to work everyday I'll be happy

Well... it depends when do you leave from work

By the way I have an usb cable at work, so my advice is that keep one at your work place too just in case...

I can easily go through one day with my Lumia 800.

- No data connection
- WiFi constantly turned on
- approx 200 SMS
- up to one hour of browsing the web
- ocassionaly some gaming

I'm very satisfied with my Lumia 800 battery life. It's the best among all recent smartphones I've owned so far (iPhone 4, Nokia C7, Xperia Arc). My last charge still has 9% left and it gave me 34 hours of moderate usage. I can go trhu a whole day of heavy usage without any problem!

Well, I don't have a lumia 800 but I have a closer relative to it which is the 710. They are both the same except for the screen and battery size. Of course the 800 would be more power efficient than the 710 since it has an amoled screen.

But I can go around 16 hours with moderate usage, 30ish hours with light.

I struggle to get a day out of it with:
1) 4 email accounts (2 set to push, the other 2 accounts poll every hour). Probably only read 4-10 of the emails a day
2) Light Twitter usage (a single account and read < 200 tweets a day)
3) A couple of calls and SMSes.
4) ~30 of web browsing.

Turning off push email on all accounts seems to help a lot.

To put it in comparison, my Desire HD could easily last a day and I was using that more:
1) All email accounts were using push.
2) 3 twitter accounts
3) Google+

since i came back in my own country (france, was in finland), my battery is even better!
it was good, it is now almost awesome for my heavy use!
i can go through the whole day easily, with remaining charge at the end of the day.

Nice, i can now use my phone as a mp3 player everyday.
