My K750i is fine - but the main point of this is to tell you about a
phone you don't have but to say that using Blue tooth will tend to crash
your battery life.

I found turning off Bluetooth and 3G stuff both seemed to help. Still
nowhere near the 14 days it's supposed to get though.

I don't. But then I charge it every night so battery life is not an
issue. It's gone 3 days on one charge with moderate usage (say an hour
of calls each day on a bluetooth headset.

This is weird. All you need to do is to plug the phone into a charger
every night, and battery life is effectively irrelevant. Is that too
difficult? Every third or fourth night would probably do. Once a week
too much to ask?

I read somewhere that Li-Ion batteries can stand 500 charges before
storage starts to tail off. Charging the phone daily would mean that the
capacity starts to tail off after only 1.5 years. If you don't need to
charge it, why do so if it only serves to reduce the battery's life?

Fine, if you spend much of the day on the phone talking, it will need
re-charging daily, so do it. If not, why bother?

'I read somewhere' oh dear...... And to be honest most folk (if they are on
a contract upgrade after either 12/18 or max 24 months), sell the phone on
ebay and voila!

Patronising much?

I forget to charge phones, which is why I went for one with an
(ostensibly) long battery life. The fact that it's clearly not so
important for you doesn't make other people wrong.
