ive got a feeling some of the apps available for S60 is using more battery than others, for example the screen saver applications..
does anyone have an opinion to this?

or other ways of saving battery?

bluetooth doesnt really waste battery.

Turn off GRPS connection - when on a train and moving between different aerials turn off the phone to save it re-establishing with the the network. also if you are in area with really bad reception this eats the battery.

Keep out of cold areas and really hot areas as this also eats the battery and try to run down the battery every so often before you hcarge again to keep it working at a high rate.

any others?

turn off your vibrator!! this gave me an extra days battery life.
