norman Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Brother has a Dezire z and friend the HD they are both superb but a bit big for my use, also the battery life would be an issue for me personally.

james.wilson Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 yes i must admit batt life is poor but then i have 3 email accounts on push, weather and share info syncing every 30 mins, linked in and i do about 3 hours of calls a day. I need to charge it in the car nd every nightfor it to last the day or disable syncing securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

norman Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 in all fairness people moan about the batt life but they do not appreciate the processing they do in the backround. I have a Sony jobby, bought mainly for the camera and good battery life. Works SIm and i have never bothered getting data enabled on it. Bought two sims for Mrs and daughter, 600 mins, u/l texts, 3gig data for £7.50 each per month 12 m contract. T-Mob, Shitty network but also roams to orange and works well for their useage.

arfur mo Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 The batt life on mine I concider is prety good, in truth better than the n95's i had. I have a slot on charger cradle in the van, use that on the motor bikes to. Given I don't turn off the BT and WiFi and I use it a lot for email/browsing most days, it performs well. 1st handset was a Panasonic 'satchel', 8 hour charge 8 minute talk time lol! Back then had a Filofax and calculator. Then got a psion XP, and so on then smart phones appeared I bought and still have one if the 1st using Palm software. Used to be batt life and talk time was high on the needs list, why imho the Nokia 3310 was so popular, a solid if basic phone. We tend to ask a lot more from a 'phone' now.

norman Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 it can be handy having a spare, second battery though, cant it? Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Oxo Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Always have a spare batt. Ever been on site cannot get to motor to charge. Need to make a call, clients dont need to hear you calling anyone for any reason so their phones are out. Then agian two phones helps too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
