Nokia issues another Lumia 800 battery fix
A bug's life
Nokia has pushed out another Lumia 800 update, which finally appears to have cracked the handset's battery woes and almost triples its staying power.
The Finnish outfit played Numberwang again with firmware update 1600.2487.8107.12070, which rolled out across Singapore this week.
As well as managing screen brightness better and adjusting the camera's white balance, the Lumia battery increase is where the real improvements lie, with WPCentral reporting a boost of nearly triple that of previous tests.
The Lumia 800 update has yet to be pegged in for a European release, but it's likely to be on the way soon after the previous two Lumia updates had minimal affect. ®

Jim, come on... If you have solid figures, post them. If you pulled those out of your a**, then keep quiet.
For a good analysis on Nokia (and all others) sales numbers, go here: http://communities-dominate.blogs.com/brands/2012/02/smartphone-final-numbers-2011-all-the-stats-including-q4-by-handset-brands-operating-systems-and-ins.html
Just a small quote:
"Still, the brand new MeeGo from Nokia, even with its very limited launch availability almost tied all Windows Phone sales by all brands. I have Windows Phone at 1.8 million units and MeeGo at 1.75 million. Thus within Nokia, MeeGo and the N9 outsold all Microsoft Windows Phone based Lumia phones by.. 3 to 1."
triples the time,
That means you'll get a whole 7 hours on standby before it needs to be recharged!
Re: Its user will be so pleased
You forgot "once WP8 is out...", just as we had "once Mango is out", and before that "once WP7 is out". Well, I for one would like to see the shills response once the fucking sales figures are out, but for some reason microsoft aren't trumpeting them from the rooftops the way they do when it comes to windows or office sales, never mind this eternally promised la la next version shite.
Jim, oh Jim
The only reason there are so many in Finland is because import tax on other makes is so high.
Did you buy it or was it a prezzie, either way I sympathise with your plight.
