Looks like they have done little to resolve the battery life for S3 smartphone. I'm still experiencing massive battery drain, just like my N8 and C7. Had it not because of the bigger battery capacity, I won't even have 30% left now.
Just using for couple of short calls, bout 20 minutes of surfing. Interval email checking is 30 minutes. I don't know why the data keep on going despite already set the interval for email. Manually disconnect data with RED key but it will run almost immediately in less than 5 seconds.

Checking every seconds...
For me, Whatsapp and Gravity are the two most battery draining app in Symbian3 phones. Plus email syncing, but that could be minimized, so not too much of a problem there.
Still, I'm using Nimbuzz, Whatsapp, browser a lot over wifi since this morning, and yet, the battery still full. Really shocking TBH, must be the frugal battery usage of the small screen and the large, hero battery plays a role here.
Currently testing apps for compatibility with E6. Fmobi (IMHO, the best FB client on E6 now), Opera Mobile, Nimbuzz, Whatsapp works well with no issue, apart from the small display of course. Plus, the touch n type nature of E6 really helps a lot in navigating around the app. Really felt natural in hand.
I can feel inserting my main SIM here, and using my N8 solely for media creation + consumption
