Does anyone else find that having Buetooth activated kills their battery life? I have a T68i, and when I have Bluetooth running the battery drains within a matter of hours. Does anyone have any tips?

  Try a T610 the bluetooth setting hardly seems to make a difference.

  The replies about your battery and bluetooth drainage are both correct - Your battery should last a few days, even with Bluetooth on. And, bluetooth takes a day or two off the battery time when it is left on.

  I have the same phone and it lasts 3 days or so with bluetooth running continuously. Get a new battery!

  Turning Bluetooth radio on is definitely going to drain your battery. You should turn it off when not in use.
