Three's pricing is up and they are doing grey
Soldato
The battery is 3100mA.hr, operating at 3.7V; this is 11.47W.hr.
So, with a 10W charge, you're looking at a theoretical charge time (from zero to 100%) of 1.147hrs; roughly 69mins.
Actual charge times should be fairly close to this with a high quality charger, so expect to charge for about an hour from a near-flat (~10%) battery.

Realistically I cant see me charging it for a while
By the looks of the graph you posted earlier, you're looking at ~9hrs of usage for a full battery load (you dropped ~30% in ~3hrs). Now I assume that you've been pushing it quite hard given that it's a new toy
D), and you've had wi-fi on for the whole time, so that's really not too bad IMO!

what about handtec ?
Vodafone are saying EO October and Three have white in stock in stores
And handtec. Although works about £5 more without discount code + pp.
Any idea if Three are selling it Sim free? Gonna go down this afternoon
i was with tmob last year and got way more than that. are you being put on the slow lane as (i assume) you got the phone through someone other than t-mobile direct?
back then if you had a droid from a 3rd party you had 1GB instead of 3 and were on the slow lane as opposed to the 1MB/sec + lane. i had to go instore to query and blag my way through
p.s
saw this phone in grey at my local carphone. ripoff prices though. i want this but am waiting for sensible pricing - maybe in a month or so.
p.s the white one next to the grey looks awful! the video player working in a window was kinda kewl

Afaik, white in stock in some stores, no stock online, and no stock of grey in stores.
Three are selling the Note II at either
- £499 + £15 or £10 PAYG
- Or £31 to £44pm for 24months +upfront costs
I'm thinking of grabbing a grey Note II from somewhere and grabbing a 12 rolling from Three with unlimited data, as i have had great coverage with them on my iphone.
Edit: Are people expecting the price to reduce closer to november/christmas ?
Note 1 dropped in price fairly significantly in the run up to xmas. Who knows with Note 2 though

I'm guessing 1.5 to 2hrs in reality. Teledude will reveal all
*Shrug*
No reason it should be too far off the theoretical value when using a new battery and new charger. Charging a battery is quite a thermodynamically efficient process.
If it takes longer than 90mins then it indicates that the charger is not delivering 10W.
The original contract was through a third party. For the past 5 months or so I've been on a rolling monthly contract direct from T-mobile. In both cases I've had 750Mb data and get downloads speeds of ~250Kb/s. I used to get a similar upload speed on the old contract, but on the rolling contract my upload speed is now over 1Mb/s (?!).

might be worth going in store and asking about your download speed - leaving out the 3rd party bit
they can fix it right then and there iirc
