I have the phone now 1.5 years the battery has held lately only very short (about 9 hours with normal use) I thought the old was broken because he was so exhausted quickly. That's why I bought myself this, in the hope that he holds at least a little longer. But unfortunately, he does not. Again he is for a use of about 9 hours on end, even though I telephone rather little and doing other on mobile phone. I will put the focus on the battery life on my next phone purchase, because that's a joke!
