My phone froze for the first time since I bought it late May. I had just downloaded a large file from email (5MB+), then listening to music while chatting on ebuddy. The freezing happened when I wanted to switch task from music player to ebuddy. I tried to reset the phone by using the power button without success. The screen just turned brighter but still showing the freezing screen. So had to resort to pulling out the battery.

One thing I don't like about N82 is the tight battery compartment and the slippery back. Tried a few times without avail so I went to fiddle with the manual in case I was doing anything wrong.

My phone was on the table when I was going through the manual. Then suddenly the screen turned black and the phone reset itself. What a relief! :-D Everything is fine now. Anyone had a similar experience? Btw, this is posted from my beloved phone ;-)

Last time I tested how long my phone's battery can last with "normal" usage. Such as:
- few calls a day
- some sms a day
- take a few pics, no flash
- less than 30mins wifi a day
- pda functions like calendar and notepad

In short, not intentionally playing with the phone. Was a hard test because it's hard to put this baby down! :-D Anyway, the battery lasted a good 5 days! I was impressed :-)

@ziggy87: Don't know, it was the first time my phone hang. Took a few minutes before the phone reset itself though, the longest few minutes in my life!

@Jeffery: Nope, phone was on the whole time. That's why I was impressed! :-D

Yes. You are correct. N-Gage games take lots of battery juice. Even I played games for 20 minutes, after full charge suddenly 1-2 bars of battery indicator dropped. Maybe N-Gage utilised the graphic accelerator.

Hmm...your N82's battery life seems impressive. Is your phone's firmware V20 or V30? I tried my one before after full charge, can last about 70 hours. Roughly 3-4 days. But...I didn't off it all the while. N I didn't use the phone much. Just take 3-5 photos a day, listen to radio 10-20 minutes via loudspeaker,  make 3-5 minutes call a day. My phone setting was GSM mode with the display brightness 50%. No sms, no games and no music playing and last ard 3-4 days until battery low warning. My phone is V20. Is there any improvement over the battery life once updated to V30? Thank You.

I applaud these adventurous people, but personally I believe in "if it ain't broken, don't fix it". Heheh tongue.gif

I think you can still survive without a computer if you have a N82 tongue.gif

Agreed, N82 is a great value for money phone! When I bought the phone, I didn't consider about it much.

"So it's there, good for emergencies. End of story."

However right now wifi function is my most used function haha! I am so glad I bought N82 over K850 for the wifi. Btw, I am on prepaid so I don't have unlimited data plan.
