3G mobile phone with best battery life?

Hi,

I am looking for a new 3G mobile phone and one of the main things im looking for is something with a good battery life. I know that 3g phone use more battery then 2g phones. The best phone for battery life I have known was the Nokia 6210. The battery on that phone lasted weeks. I have had a few 3g phone since I joined Three the better one was the SE W890i but that would only last a couple of days even if it was not used. Would love to hear from anyone who has had good experiences with recent 3g phones.

these r some of the best (arranged by standby time):
* the philips phones dont hv 3g, but u can use them to compare to other phones with 3g. i provide a link for the phones that hv 3g

    It is a dilemma in some ways. The fewer the features, the longer the battery life. The really high end phones have less life than the more basic phones. My BlackBerry Storm, which is a fantastic phone, has far less life than my previous BlackBerry Pearl – the Pearl would last four to five days, the Storm barely two. Doing things like reducing the backlight level, keeping Bluetooth off unless needed, not playing games or music etc., can extend it, but really the simplest thing to do is buy a second battery. I bought a second battery for emergency use and rotate it every week or two, plus when I am in the office I plug it into a Amzer docking cradle which also charges my spare battery.
