battery problem

I have noticed in the past few days, that my battery is acting just like my old 3330 did.

When i talk, it seems that i only have two bars, and then it goes again to 4/5 bars...

does this happen to you too?

I thought li-ion batteries wouldn't do this.... :cry: ~

please tell me if i'm the only one....

I think that is because it predicts that if you continue to speak on the
phone then you have only 2 bars of charge left. and then when you stop
the call, then it predicts that you have again more time (4 bars) left.

Just normal behaviour. And I think thats how it should be done.
Its done the same way on video cameras and other hardwares that I know.
How would you do it otherwise?

same as mine.

My phone is barely used as it's my second line but the standby time seems to be less than 48 hours? Is this normal? But my Bluetooth is on.

Can anyone comment?

I think it's normal, as bluetooth is supposed to conserve more battery power (it does right?)
