Certainly true of some of the earlier firmware but the last one I had
was pretty solid for the six months or so I kept it.

Obviously depends how much talk vs standby time and the strength of
the signal but my typical use is perhaps between 15-30 minutes per day
of actual calls in city areas where the signal is strong.
I do little else with them except make and receive telephone calls.

My 8310 could last well over a week with little use but typically,
with a few calls per day, would be a little under a week between
charges.
Difficult to tell with my 6100 as it's charged regularly in my car and
hardly ever drops below full charge but has managed five to six days
between charges with occasional use on international roaming and still
had perhaps a day worth of battery charge left.
That said, not of my phone have ever had video/mp3 and I rarely use
loud speaker. ;-)

What about a SE T68i triband, colorscreen, long standby time
And a low price, here in Holland the sell second hand about 60 euro.

Perhaps due to the mediocre RF performance. ;-)

R520m, T68i.
R520's are quite popular, absolutely bullet proof....

Re: Good gsm dual- /tri-band international models
I love my 6310i, but wish that Nokia would release a quadband version of the
phone.

It ain't gonna happen. The 6310i though a great phone with great
features is essentially gone unless you can pick up one somewhere.
