Pulled this from Nokia, here's some tips that should improve battery life. As simple as they may sound...
Find the balance between getting the most out of your phone while getting the battery life you need. There are steps you can take to save power on your phone.

  • Always charge the battery fully.
  • Mute unnecessary sounds, such as key press sounds.
  • Use wired headphones, rather than the speakerphone.
  • The camera viewfinder can be a power drain, so after you've finished taking photos, press

    .

Use network connections selectively:

I leave my phone alone for the most part. If I want to conserve battery I just put it on battery saver and it lasts forever....
