You must install the rom updates if you want more battery life.
I've been using this phone for 1 year and I have no problems. But I want a touchscreen phone so I'll sell this. But, great "smartphone", not "phone" because sometimes it cannot complete his quests for being a basic phone.

Hey, I had this phone for about 2 years. Worked very well for about the first year but then for some reason water vapour started collecting under the screen, not sure why as it wasn't really exposed to any water (apart from occasional rain!)

Pro's:
Email functionality is very good, quick connection speed. Unfortunatly I can't seem to send any outgoing emails (with talktalk and smtp server details seem ok)

Microsoft word is useful for viewing documents (these can be edited but to be honest it takes ages as it's not a qwerty keyboard)

Absense of touchscreen. Personally not too keen on touch screen phones/pda's, just find it takes longer to operate.

Con's
Phone occasionally crashes if too many tasks are running
Water seems to get under the screen (although nobody else seemed to have this problem so may just be a one off)
2.5mm jack which means if you want to connect the phone to a speaker or just standard headphones you have to purchase a 2.5mm to 3.5mm adaptor
When approaching the two year mark it started to crash during calls

All in all a good phone, however if you own it for a long time and use it everyday it can start to fall apart slightly!

Battery drains if apps are still open.
Simple fix:
On home screen,
- Shortcuts
- List running programs (option 6)
- Menu
- Kill All (option 2)

This will close any apps that are still open in the background
