My solution to nokia battery life issues

I now have a Nokia 6120 which I bought for £50, I've upgraded from an e61. This has pretty much all the features I need HSDPA, Email, web access, VOIP and music through bluetooth. Not bad for £50. The battery life though when I 'm using web, music, bluetooth at the same time is about 4hrs..... Not enough to last a day.
It is not enough to justify the extra £300 to buy an unlocked N95. So I bought an external charger and 2, yes two more batteries.

At least I don't need Wifi because of my amazing 1GB data allowance for only £5 a month with 3.

I now have one battery on permanent charging on rotation and my battery life problems have gone away. Not ideal but I can't see the battery life improving anytime soon with the way the services keep getting added. I love to get a phone wih GPS but that would be crazy with the power drain that it would add to the phone.
