Any above PDA phone users? Jus got 1! I found the battery is very lousy, will deplete even when totally switched off (w/o phone turn off oso). Is it normal?

I'm using the 6515 and the battery is OK, will last at least 2-4 days - depending on how much I use the PDA side of things...

Think for your case, the screen or some programs are running background. Do a check and see if your screen turns on without your knowing.

Hi, r u using e extended battery or standard one?
Dun mind if u can do this battery test?
1) 'OFF' all transmitting functions(ie: phone & GPRS), or alternatively remove SIM card;
2) 'OFF' bluetooth function;
3) 'STOP' all running programs on PDA;
4) take note of remaining battery charge(XX%);
5) 'OFF' ur PDA;
6) 'ON' after 1 day, take note of battery charge again. (It will deplete a certain amount: approx 5%-10%)

Thanks!

As far as i know, there is no wired-earpiece(for handsfree comms) for this model. However there is a bluetooth headset sold seaprately(but i dun prefer that). Any1 knows if there is any 3rd party earpiece compatible wif it?

Since you didn't turn on anything, did the battery still drop as fast as before? Also did the battery feels hot?
