Hey guys. i have the samsung innov8 on an orange contract from the carphone warehouse. i took out the phone with big expectations for battery life and a good screen. the camera and other features of the phone are really good. no doubt in that. but when it comes to battery life. its not what it says. the battery hardly lasts for more than 6 hours even without using the camera, bluetooth and gps. the screen powering up consumes alot of battery and also the screen has started to crack from the inside. i hoped the phone would be better than that but is certainly isn't. its not too much of a hassle as i have 28 days to exchange it and lets hope the replacement doesn;t give the same problems.

Hey guys,


Im very interested in the Samsung I8510. Im currently with Voda and i dont really want to change Networks. Can somebody confirm if the phone will be available with Voda?

otherwise i may get the N96 when its out..

Hi, I have the I8510 - 8gb.
So far battery life ok, but camera shutter sitting at half open when taken out of pocket, screen totally unreadable in daylight (live north of aberdeen, so we're not talking that bright a day either). phoned samsung support about a couple of glithes - totally useless!
Walk away, methinks.

As Far as battery life is concerned on this phone if you switch off auto pivert (the setting that allows your screen to automatically adjust depending which way your looking at it side ways on or long ways) in the settings then your battery life will greatly improve. i was getting 6 hours before now i get 2 and half days. hope this helps

Thanks John - had the battery problem myself - hopefully this will solve the problem. Love the phone, swithced from the se c905 whichhad an awful yellowness to its pics - and terrible os
