Cingular's website says 4 hours of talk time or 6 days of standby time. This has not been my experience! If you plan on getting this phone, better plan on charging it up every 2 to 3 days!
If I didn't love everything else about this phone, I'd probably have to exchange it for something else. But it's just so damn cool otherwise!
I think we should always treat the estimated battery life with a grain of salt as they are probably measuring without using BT, EDGE/GPRS at all, lowest setting on power and backlight, etc. and then exaggerate a bit on top of this. My experience with 2125 is quite positive on the battery life. For a quick weekend trip recently, I didn't bring my laptop or charger so just turned off the phone for a few hours overnight, and use the phone quite a bit during the day with plenty of camera usage including video and by the time we got back, I still have about 30% left. This is quite acceptable and with the ease of USB charging, why not charge everyday?
HTH.
