E66 battery - ‘really strong’
August 4th, 2008
Norman John from Symbian World has carried out a battery test on the E66 leaving it running and carrying out his normal business, to see just how strong it really is.
The answer is, perhaps surprisingly, that the battery lasted for two and a half days from full to empty. That is some going for a device, but maybe Nokia has got the business battery nailed down once and for all with the 1000mAh unit in this device. The batterylog he’s posted shows his exact usage over the period, and included checking email via WiFi, calls, listening to music and using the GPS. He concludes by saying that the ‘more or less hard’ usage proves that this battery ‘fits really well’ into the business/multimedia concept of the device.
Have you had a similar experience with the E66? Can you get 2 ½ days out of your device? Head over and leave a comment letting Norman John know what you think of the battery in this device.

No WAY!! The battery life of E66 does not meet any of the average usage expectation. It only last for 12 hours of stand by plus talk time - you HAVE to charge it daily and conserve your talk time on the phone.
I used the 3G network and did not use any of the Web Browsing, 3G video call, WLAN or any of the fancy functions. My talk time is about 60 mins.

NO WAY, the battery life sucks, I only use it for normall calls on our 3g network (NO WIFI o Video Calls, or GPS, or music), today I talked for less than 60 minutes without doing anything else and it hardly could last to the end of the day ( now its 11 PM and I have only one bar on the phone) !!!
I am going to sell it and buy E71, my frind says it last or 2 to 3 days depending on usage.

I agree with Amhad, I have been using for a week the E66 and I am surprised Nokia made a phone whose battery life is one of the worse I ever seen. Pheraps almost as bad as the Touch Diamond I sold for the ame problem. I don’t use 3G video calls and the battery doesn’t last one day of average use.

E66 sucks man, i want to sell it but i am not getting any one to purchase seems all are aware of the problem. E66 only looks gud but performance wise very bad. Nokia care had done three times the battery replacement but it doesnt help.
even nokia care fed up of the problem they have no clue why the problem persists every time.

NO WAY. Battery last about 36h. Excellent phone with bad, bad, bad battery! No 3G, no WLan…. Like a Rolls Royce without tyres.
Would I buy it again? I don’t know. I’m little disappointed.

What i said, this E66 battery is really worst. It only stand for most 1 1/2 day of stand by mode.
