I got a unit from Singapore. Found 2 problems with this phone so far. The micro SIM sits loosely in the micro SIM holder. So sometimes when receiving calls, due to the vibrator, the SIM contact gets loose and the phone reboots itself. Fixed it by placing a small piece of paper behind the SIM card. 2nd problem is sometimes when making calls, you can't end the call and the phone hangs. Have to do a reboot to fix it. Otherwise, it is a really nice phone.

1 more thing. The first time I tried to use the phone's WiFi to connect to my WiFi router, it always cannot connect. Even after a phone reset. You need to turn on the battery saver mode first, then it will connect successfully. Its probably due to some missing registry entries.

I found that using Edge drains more battery power than using 3G. When I set the phone to use Edge, leave the phone idle for 24 hours, from fully charged to the next charge, the battery left 35% only. If using 3G under the same condition, battery left 85%. Edge gives me full 5 bars while 3G is 2-3 bars only.

Anyone noticed the Lumia 800 specs on power management on the Nokia website? It states 3G standby time is longer than GSM standby time.

I certainly enjoy the longer battery life.

I had problem connecting to WiFi too. Turning Battery Saver mode on solved the problem for me. After connecting to WiFi, you can turn it off again.

Try switching between EDGE and 3G. For me, battery drain is bad on EDGE but once on 3G, it fixed the problem.

I got updated to 12070 a few days ago. Using Malaysian Live ID but my phone is Singapore set.
