Which phone is good for long battery life using Bluetooth?

LittlePhil · 22-09-2009, 13:36

I am changing my car for one which has Blueetoth phone prep. (There's no built in phone cradle/charger as yet)
This means I can now upgrade from my old Nokia 6310, which I have had for years & years (6 in all)

Which would be a good phone to change to? Long battery life on Bluetooth is the most desireable feature.... any recommendations?

Bluetooth is one of the worst battery-drainers so you're better off focussing on a phone which generally has good battery life anyway.

Although is there a reason why a car charger isn't a viable option?

Well, once I settle on the phone, I can then get the in car cradle which would be located out of sight in the centre console- Thats the thing with a car charger... the cables will be visible & I'd prefer it out of sight.

I was going to get the phone first & then save up my pennies for the manufacturers cradle- once I knew which phone I was going to get... if you see what I mean

What phones would you say have a decent battery life?
