N95 battery : The review

As it has already made a lot of voice about the battery capabilities of the N95-1, I decided to test it myself. This is what took place in a practical Sunday. And SPOILER ALERT : The whole day without a recharge. The phone was switched on for all the 24 hours.


5.30a.m - Start of the day. With a small recharge of around 30 mins taking the battery to a nearly full level with the recharge day before.
6.00a.m- Checking my email, with a 3.5G browsing session.
7.30a.m- Using the Messaging function and some other applications.
9.30a.m- Using the camera and Bluetooth for nearly half an hour.
11.00a.m- "Playing" with the device for around half an hour.
12.10p.m- Playing some videos and using the camera for around 20 minutes.
1.45p.m- Using Messaging function for sending some SMSs.
3.00p.m- Some more minutes of playing, including N-Gage.
4.30p.m- Active 3.5G browsing session, some calls, battery still full.
7.00p.m- Some more 3.5G browsing and listening to music, actively using other applications.
9.30p.m- End of the day. Still surviving from a single recharge, battery still one bar left.

With this normal usage, I believe it should be well enough for any normal user. And for a 950mAh BL-5F battery, this is still impressive. And for today, after a full recharge, I've been browsing internet with 3G set on for nearly 3 hours, while losing only one battery bar. So my recommendation is that, if you use wisely, you are able to survive without a recharge for a single day even with a higher usage. And, if you want a bit more power, just switch off 3G as it's one of the most battery consuming features.
