Battery??
How is the battery life on this phone? I currently have the 7000 and that battery will last me 2 days with no problems. Does the 8100 compare or at least last for a full day with no problems. Thanks in advance.

I love the battery life on my 7000 - best battery life of any phone I've used. As for the 8100 - I can't say for sure since I don't have mine yet (awaiting delivery), but if it's anything like the V710 I have as well, bluetooth power can suck the battery dry relatively quickly. I know it's like compairing apples to oranges - but overall, BT does take quite a bit of battery juice.
Extended life battery - here we come! 😉

I'm sure it depends on how much talking you do on the phone. I'm going on day 2 right now without a charge... I still have 2 bars. But I haven't been on my phone much today.

Got my 8100 Monday afternoon. So far, I have had to charge it every night, but I have really been playing with it a lot. I am on the phone a lot when I'm in the car - I've put 400 minutes on the phone since Monday. I have watched about a dozen clips on VCast, downloaded about the same number of ringers via Get It Now, played with the settings, speaker phone, voice dialing, etc. I do believe I'm getting good battery life, given the amount of usage, but will probably pick up the extended battery when available.

Thanks for the input. Can't wait for the phone. Hope I can figure out that MP3 player you talked about in the other thread.
