If it's an old Nokia, you should be able to get a week out of the battery if you only make a few calls on it. If has a colour screen, it'll use the battery faster, and if you use the phone for anything, it'll use it more, but my old 6310 used to last a week. Obviously batteries won't last forever, and I bet a new one isn't all that much either (the last one I bought was less than £10/$16), so it might be worth getting a new one if you're noticing a degradation.

My phone is several years old now, and I feel no compelling reason to move into the modern smart-phone era. My phone has a browser and a camera and I almost never use them; it has some games, too, which I have never played. For me it's just a phone, and a calendar/clock. Hell, I don't even play music on it. I digress. I've noticed lately that it seems to require charging more frequently, and it's certainly not because it's constantly in active use. Is this an indication that it's getting to be time for a new battery? -- Arthur _______________________________________________ dba-Tech mailing list dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com ________________________________ This communication and its attachments, if any, may contain confidential and privileged information the use of which by other persons or entities than the intended recipient is prohibited.
