    the battery for my 1600 goes only 3 days before low battery warning
    the manual gives ridiculous figure "up to" hundreds of hours standby
    a workmate also has a 1600, and says it lasts 4 or 5 days
    I have charged it correctly since new, and it is not operating in
    extreme temperatures
    and I rarely use it - it can be on standby for a week

    so did I get a dud battery?

    You're lucky. The E70 battery lasts less than a day & night, manual stated 160
    hours. The older phones are much more economic on power than the newer ones, by
    all accounts.

    Perhaps, perhaps not. Battery life can depend on the network you're
    connected to as well as signal strength to nearest tower. In manufacturers
    test conditions they use unreal conditions though their claims in this set
    of conditions are probably correct.

    I usually half the quoted figures to get a bit more of a realistic value.
