You need to charge the battery past the full indicator the first time. Used
to be people always said 24 hours, now some say as low as 12. The charge
indicator is wrong when the battery is new.

how long have you "played" with the phone? One of the major energy
takers is the screen's backlight. If I turn it on constantly my
battery is dead after short 4 hours, with the backlight of the phone
stands a week.

Don't worry, just charge it 'till it's full. As soon as your usage
turns normal (I mean after the "shiny new toys - period") the standby
time will rise.

If not, exchange it.

Yikes, how did I miss that part? 7 hours of playing will do it.

due to the type of battery in SE phones, they dont develop memory but
at the same time should never be drained complete empty.

What can happen if I completely drain my T610 battery? (I assume that the
T300 also have Lithium-Polymer battery) Would be nice to know so that you
could recognize any sympthoms of that.

Small bubbles gathers on the battery plates which decreases the capacity.
It's possibly to "crack" them by sending in higher voltage for a few
seconds, i.e. 50% over recommended voltage. The downside is that you might
damage the battery, but what have you got to lose? I have done it myself
many times and it works very well.
