Samsung SPH-M610

See any reason why an extended batter won't eventually be developed for this thing? (although, I guess that kind of defeats the purpose of a thin phone doesn't it).

Just got the M610, and can't complain too much about batter life yet, but I can already tell it is going to be an issue based on how we'll likely use it.

I don't like that I have no way of connecting my stereo headphones, and that you can't listen to wired headphones while charging. It requires a custom adaptor, and the headphones that come with the unit don't have an adaptor really, it goes straight from custom connector to the ear buds, no "adaptor". Maybe some 3rd party cables will come out soon to help out.

I can confirm some of the other complaints, such as so-s...

i have to say that i dont know if this has anything to do with it or not, but since i have disabled modem nai, the battery life doent seem SO bad as before, but i still HAVE to charge it almost every night or it wont make it through the next day. Other then the battery life, i love everything about this phone and is definetly the most feature packed, thinnest phone i have ever owned.

I have found the battery to be ok at best it is a standard samsung battery, it's about the only thing on the whole phone that is samsung stock equipment. your best bet is to put the display settings to a minimum it last me about 2 days this way but its impossible to text in dark places. I talk on my phone an avg of 3 hours a day and i charge it once everyother day.

The battery life is atrocious! I would highly recommend a different route. Every day it practically dies on me.....a waste.
