It takes a few charges to get maximum battery life (see the manual). Make sure you haven't got things like Bluetooth constantly switched on.

Also, make sure that when you've finished doing something you choose Options - Exit rather than just hitting the hangup button - this leaves programs running in the background which can seriously suck the battery.
(Series 60 Nokias have always done this, sorry if you already knew about it!) Hold down the Menu button to see what's still running - only one or two things should be... |

Also if there's an option to, set the screen brightness at 50%.

I would also leave it charging overnight even if it says the battery is full. Leave it for the first 3 or 4 charges.

First few charges 4-6 hours. Don't charge it overnight, it will damage the battery life considerably. Phone batteries don't need an overnight charge now - mine charges from very low (under 10%) to full in around two hours, possibly less.
