I'd see about getting a new battery under warranty if I was you.
Talked to a guy at work today who has one and he charges his every couple of days after moderate use.


iCraig I think orange are getting the Hero during early July so any day now hopefully

And the Hero (G1 Touch) on T-Mobile is due mid-July too. Minded to jump ship (from Orange), even if Vodafone are planning on snapping up T-Mobile.

Same here, the signal strength is so pathetic I wouldn't stay with them for anything. I'm counting the days till I can leave and get a better phone with a company that'll provide me with a signal all day!

I'm glad it's not just me that has signal strength issues. I've lost count of the number of times I've been on trains with people merrily chatting away on their phones nearby and my phone says 'No signal'.

It's crazy the difference in signal strength between 2 carriers in the same house. O2 is great, Orange is cack.

Oh. Ballsacks.

Is the Hero exclusive to Orange? As much as I want it, there's little point if the signal will be pants.

i don't understand this talk on crap signal.

I was with orange for years and never lost signal. ever.

The first day with my iphone, i was going from Sheffield, to Chester over the Woodhead pass and barely got any signal the whole 30/40 miles. might of been able to post a tweet once in a while, but it was painful!

The 3 guys who work in my office (me included) are all on Orange. Not one of us gets a signal in the office all day long. We have to go elsewhere if we want to make a phonecall. O2 on the other hand gets a perfect signal down here. I think it just differs region to region.
