Does anyone know anything about the battery life. I use mine to send 3 texts a day and may check my emails but thats it. Well its going flat in under 12 hours and i have to charge it to get it to work again.

How long have you had it? It's one of those where the battery life gets better after 2 weeks or so of charging.

Have you got GPS turned on?

ok well I'd start by making sure to turn off GPS and bluetooth (unless you're using them of course).

Email, check if its set to check all the time, push email or what. If its gmail for example that can be very battery hungry. Try and check manually or every 30mins.

Finally, check that you dont have any nasty apps sucking power by being on all the time and then let it run completely flat the next day. Take out the battery for 30mins or so and then charge it fully.

If its the same the following day, through the day, use it a bit then charge it, use it then charge it and keep doing that when you can. See if that improves it.

Sadly there are many reports of the mini only lasting 6hrs with low usage so :/
