Nokia 6555 problems

After, I got my Nokia 6555. I was looking around in the forums and started reading what everyone was saying about this phone.  I will say I did not like what I was reading.  It had me worried.  But since I have had my phone I have been very happy with it.

 

So I want to put my two cents in on this phone.  I will admit when I first got it, I used it like crazy playing around with all the features and stuff.  For the first 4 days, I had to charge it every two nights.  But now, I charge it every 4 and a half to 5 days.  I did turn off the constant running of the 3G/Internet.  It only turns on when I want to actually access it.  I am not big on being on the phone all the time so yes I haven't talked much on it.  I do text message and access the weather channel everyday.  I turn my phone off each night and turn it back on in the morning.

 

My opinion, people like me who hardly ever uses a phone or when you do your conversations are 5 minutes or less.  The battery life span is not a problem.  If you are a big phone person and must be on it all the time, using the web none stop, and using it as a MP3 player; then yes you will have to charge your phone every two nights if not every night.  And I don't use the mp3 feature because I have an iPod.  So another reason my battery last a while.

 

So there it is.  That is my input on it.  I am happy customer with my phone.

3G/Internet how did you turn it off

 

Settings - Connectivity - Packet Data - Packet Data Conn. - When Needed.

 

This keeps it from running all the time.  It will only turn on when you access the 3G/Internet/CV

This does turn off GPRS access so that the phone only accesses the GPRS network when needed (indeed a battery saving measure).  However, GPRS ( "General Packet Radio Service" ) is not 3G.  Unfortunately, the ability to turn off 3G access is typically one of the things that is eliminated with at&t's firmware.
