To K700i users

I just read somewhere that you can use the Nokia BLT-3 battery with the K700i. Battery life is supposedly fabulous with this partnership averaging 3-4 days. Has anyone tried this?

Interesting.

I have to wonder about the actual increase in battery life though since the differences in power ratings are kinda minimal:

Sony Ericsson BST-30 - 670mAh
Sony Ericsson BST-35 - 700mAh
Nokia BLD-3 - 720mAh

I think the big question is price. Which is cheaper, and by how much? I'm in the market for a spare battery. Nakakatakot lang sa Nokia, maraming fake sa market.

Hang on - is the BLD-3 the same one as used in the older phones (8250, 8910, etc)???

ang tagal na smart k700i ko...

hi, just a quick question, how do you restore your security code if one forgets it?

thanks....

The BLD-3 is rated at 3.7 volts while the BST-30 is at 3.6. Will this have an adverse effect on the k700i, or is this also partly the reason for the better battery life?

Dunno about the effect on the K700i but it just doesn't seem right to be using a Nokia battery on a Sony Ericsson cellphone. :-)

According to my physics prof (circa late 90's, hehe), voltage = electric potential, and the higher the voltage, the better the performance (when comparing like items). But ultimately, it's the mAh rating that matters most.

BTW, the SE BST-30 and the Nokia BLD-3 are both Li-Ion batteries while the BST-35 is a Li-Polymer battery (like those in iPods). Dunno which technology is better.

It seems that Li-Ion batteries are better than Poly as it has a slightly higher peak watt-hour rating. Dont actually know how this translates into real world performance, though.
