Sprint Releases Sony Ericsson T608
Battery Life Just isn't there
I went to work Monday and left it in my pocket. I used it a little bit and the battery died around 2:00pm. It only lasted 6.5 hours
Tuesday I didn't use it at all and it still died before I got out of work. I thought it had a standby time of several days?? How can I use it if it dies before I get out of an 8 hour work day??
Any thoughts??

I purchased a new battery (BST-25) from an AT&T store (T608 uses same battery as T616) and it has been running over 24 hours with bluetooth always on, occassional web surfing, and about 20-30 minutes of phone usage with over 3/4 remaining on the batter meter. Much better!
Interesting, the new battery I bought is only 3 months younger than the one that shipped with the T608 (2003 week 27 vs. week 15). Perhaps Sprint kept our T608s in a freezer? 😉
As with any phone, make sure you do full charge cycles the first 2-3 times. Charge it all the way, then let it drain all the way before charging again, then repeat. After doing that three times, you can charge it whenever. If you don't do those initial full cycles, you'll never get full battery life.
