Hi Barbara, I too have an E51 phone which I ordered last week and picked up today. Whilst I am pleased with my phone, I was told by the assistant that I would need to charge my phone up every two days. I did point out that whilst I have my phone switched on more or les all day, I am not constantly useing it. When I got my phone at around 4:30 today, it was showing 5 bars. currently it's showing 4 bars which may suggest that my battery is OK. I like this phone as the kekys are fairly big and easy to navigate.

I have a problem and I am not sure if it is caused by the phone or the battery. I know I could check it out by trying another battery in my phone or my battery in another phone, but I was wondering if anyone had this problem which is a new one to me. I need to charge this battery once a day which isn't quite normal as I am not a heavy user. Once my battery hits about 4 bars, the power just seems to drain very quickly. In the past if I went to bed and the battery was on 1 bar, I could switch it off overnight and still find a little power left in the morning to make the alarm go off etc. Now if I go to bed with the battery on 3 bars, by morning the phone is dead and the alarm does not go off. Also, once charged and switched on again, I am asked to set the date and time as you would with a new phone. Anyone know what might be causing this problem?
