Does anyone know if Nokia or any other 3rd party will be releasing a higher capacity battery for the Nokia N80?

Better Battery life would make this phone near perfect... :)

I am tempted to order this phone in the next couple of days but I can see the short battery life being a real problem as it will primarily be used as a business phone.

You might be able to use one of the higher capacity BC-5L batteries, but I haven't seen these widely available yet. You're probably better off just carrying a spare as the extra juice is that susbstantial.

The battery is fine for at least one day of heavy use.

Thanks for the info. Ordered from Vodafone yesterday... Free of charge upgrade! :) A day of use is just enough as I am never far away from a charger.
