Anyone else here using the Nokia 5300 XpressMusic phone?

I own one of these phones but the battery life is really poor. Has anyone out there managed to work out anything to help sustain the battery life?

I use it for an hour's music every day, and a couple of one-minute phone calls and 3 or 4 texts, and the battery is flat within 6 or 7 hours.

If that's true then it's certainly faulty.

It's not faulty. The battery is poor on them all, you only have to look around the web at the reviews. It doesn't last a full day - so I'm asking for any solutions some people might have found to optimise the battery performance.

Surely then it's not fit for the purpose it's intended and you'd be able to get a solution via the sale of goods act?

My N95 lasts two days with constant web browsing over 3G!

There's something not right with yours if it's only lasting around 7 hours on a full charge.

Code:

Nokia Battery BL-5B GSM: Up 3.2 hours GSM: Up to 223 hours Up to 12 hours

Nokia's website seems to suggest otherwise.
