Yes. If you have WiFi, Bluetooth (Also Connected) and 3G on. Your mobile will not last very long. Even without talking.


I'm going on 72hrs and battery is still at 50%. I have no SIM installed, and running on WiFi the whole time, with weather/email/facebook updating.

My 900 got wet and the screen is dark, but is still functional/visible if external light shines on it. I normally can go 24-36hrs of normal use in a full signal 3G area. Not much difference in 2G/2.5G mode.
That's what I said. WiFi alone won't do it. However, WiFi and 3G combined will.

Also, you've explained yourself the reason for your good performance. Screen Brightness is another strong factor for battery life. The lower the better.

For me, switching from 3G to 2G made a difference. At least a few more hours. Thus, I suggest it. What do you have to lose?
