Brian i dont think safaricom net, has anything to do with the how long your battery lasts or any net work whatsoever ...maybe should ld check with nokia care centers when u come to kenya ... it could be also your mobile usage when in kenya , maybe you use more when in kenya than SA :) I On Thu, Dec 17, 2009 at 10:47 AM, Brian Munyao Longwe <blongwe@gmail.com>wrote:
Wes,
The network claim might be true. When I'm in Kenya my Nokia batts last max 2 days. When I'm in SA or Cairo or Botswana with same phone I get up to 4 days with heavily increased usage as I use the phone for most of my 'net access.
Seems safaricoms net density isn't as good as it ought to be.
Mblayo

Please Note that Bluetooth is turned off, I'm not connecting to any machine, not listening to Music etc. It's only calling and SMS. On average I'm talking for about 5 minutes a day.

Hey Yall,
I got a Nokia 3110c, and the charge lasts for 2 days. The shop that sold to me says the Mobile Network is consuming the battery charge. I didn't believe them (fully) so I went to Nokia Care at Hilton. Nokia told me that it's normal for that to happen. However I had a motorolla which would last for 4 days.
So I'm puzzled here. Are the mobile networks being blamed for a poorly made device (battery) or is this a true experience for most people on ALL phones. The phone is on Safaricom. I would like to know (especially if you work in CBD) how long your battery lasts before you have to charge it.
I hope this info will give us a better understanding when buying a phone. Having to charge every 2 days is un-acceptable. Kwani I'm feeding a baby!?
8~!
