Mobile Phones - Battery Life

[Steve Terry]

But are those times correct? I don't believe any of those will out last a Nokia 6310i

6210 isn't a 6310i Although they look similar 6310i has a better battery and lower power consumption

Accept no substitutes; the Nokia 6310i is the one to choose

Sounds like your clock backup battery needs changing

That is a good question - which is why I asked. I was hoping a few owners might chime in with how long theirs lasts between charges. Only interested in models that survive a week or more without any trouble. (and preferably two weeks)

[Steve Terry]

You can make a 6310i last a month if you buy an optional 3000mAh li-ion battery

Only it's a bit bulky being the same size as the original 900mAh Ni-Mh battery used on the 1997 Nokia 5110.

I didn't say that it was.

However, I did say that I wouldn't want to go back to it now.

[Chris J Dixon]

However, lack of response, due to infrastructure overload, might well have been even more worrying.

It wasn't overloaded, they switched it off - so no more bombs could be triggered.

Although I don't think we know the full story because if there's been no mobile coverage in Boston [about the size on Birmingham, UK] for the best part of a week, the collateral [commercial] damage would be enormous. And seems to be unreported.

It's possible to make a small lens which will take good pictures "in favourable daylight conditions" of "still subjects".

AFAIK that's a myth. For example see

That article only speculates that it was overload.

I interpreted Peter's claims to be more general:

"the Nokia 808 ... totally outclasses any camera you can stick in your pocket, and I mean including the £400 ones".

This is the part that I really have trouble with.

[Mark]

I think it's more than speculation. It's quite common for mobile communications to fail during major disasters. In addition there are reports that some text messages were getting through which wouldn't if the networks were switched off completely.

And the emergency services are likely to want to use the networks too.

[Peter]

I used to have a 6310i last 1 week, 24hrs/day.

Hmmm yes I see your point.

What kind of measurement is "1/1.2in"? One one-point-twoth?

[Grimly Curmudgeon]

YOu must write to Zeiss and tell them, immediately.

Received an email the following morning saying that several friends/acquaintances had been in Boston but finished early so avoided trouble, and that she was still in Canada (as I had thought likely).

I did however make an exception and leave my mobile turned on for a while, so was just a little worried until the email arrived.

The circumference of the circle that would have been the size of the glass CRT tube in a 1950's electron beam TV set - I am not kidding. See:

1/1.2" CCD corresponds to roughly a 13mm diagonal depending also on the aspect ratio of the actual sensor. I am amazed they can fit it in the camera, illuminate it uniformly and still get enough signal to noise.
