change it over to GSM mode unless you are using 3G features

Saves a fair whack of battery life

yep same here!

I charge mine every other day, sometimes have to charge when on the phone to avoid it loosing battery.

Truely shocking

how do you do that?

 

[Has]

Easy

Menu => Tools => Settings => Network

then change Network Mode to GSM and select (willl restart phone)



If you require UMTS functionality, re-select Dual Mode or UMTS to regain 3G coverage.

how much more batt life will this give?

It will vary - its given mine about a 2-30% help

The latest firmware also has helped battery life.
