Battery going flat with Opera Mini.
My 9300 was rapidly going flat on me the other day for no apparent reason. I realised that I had two programs open that I don't usually have, the built in Opera that I use to read some html files and Opera Mini that I had used for driving directions and that I'd kept open to read those directions. When I closed these two programs my battery loss stopped and returned to normal. Since I have had Opera open like that before I believe it must have been Opera Mini that was causing the drain. Has anyone else had a similar experience? It makes me nervous of extended use of Opera Mini now, especially for something like driving directions that I may want to keep.

Yes, unfortunately Opera Mini does have a negative effect on the battery when left running in the background.

As do many other programs, usually games and utilities. Maybe I should make an official list of DO/DON'T apps, battery-wise?

Sounds like a great idea, Steve, but pretty time consuming, no? 
Maybe if other users would contribute with their experiences as well...
My list of DO apps (as in the apps that DO drain the battery dry):
-Opera Mini
-ProfiMail (but only the S60 version, no problems on Series 80)
DON'T apps:
-PowerDesk
-Mobipocket Reader
Well, those are the only ones I know for sure...
