Thanks Tristran I must say this cover over the camera is a bit better than the N70 I must say but I'll take note, I think that I'm stuck with a battery lasting 2-3 days. I suppose you can say it's better than an hour!

I have never owned an N73 though but its rated standby time is 350 hours (a bit more than 14 days). Obviously if you are using it to talk it will be somewhat less than that. By contrast the Nokia N95 is one heavy muther when it comes to battery drain quoting 225 hours for standby (Hmm, I and others would beg to differ with Nokia on this one), smartphones vary a lot. Check that you have turned off bluetooth it is often turned on by default, if you do not use bluetooth then it is dissipating power you can re-purpoe for extra life besides making it that little bit more secure. The other curse of Nokia smartphones are the battery covers some are better than others, but if they come loose so the camera turns on that is power being drained, the N70 cover was a particular culprit from my spells with it.

Org Subject: [access-uk] N73 battery Hi there, I've had my N73 for about 2 weeks now and I find the battery doesn't last nearly as long as the N70, can anyone give me any tips on how to turn off anything that will save the battery that I maybe haven't thought of, I've turned the power saver down as much as I can the light censor is only on one, is there somewhere I can turn off anything else that will help, maybe some graphics or 3g or something else that will help.
