Samsung D600 battery life and Bluetooth

I am on o2 pay monthly and at the weekend I got a free upgrade from a Nokia 6210i to a Nokia 6230i but I am disappointed with the battery life.
I am a light user and got about a weeks use between charges on the 6210i but with the colour screen on the 6230i I think I'll need to charge it about every 3 days!

I saw the Samsung D600 in the o2 shop and like the looks and specs and although I have always had a Nokia...fancy a change.
Is the battery life better on the D600?

I'm not too bothered about the camera, video or mp3 player features as I am old-fashioned and just use it as a phone.

Can anyone tell me if the Bluetooth on the D600 is as useable and stable as the Nokia as I use the Nokia Bluetooth headset in the car and find it rock-solid.
When a Bluetooth headset is used with the D600 can the phone be set to auto-answer like the Nokia?...or is this standard with all Bluetooth phones/headsets?

I went from having nokias for 9 years to a D600. D600 is a great fone but I want a 6230i now LOL. I wouldn't say the battery on on the D600 is great, prob very similar to the 6230i (charge every few days). I am infact selling my Brand New D600 on ebay now with a bluetooth headset and dvd packed with ringtones, games software etc.... - I only played with it for an hour in my room before realising I can't part with Nokias

The camera and video on the D600 is great and the screen is a lot better than the 6230i. I would say the D600 is a better fone than the 6230i but for me once a nokia always a nokia!!!

As for bluetooth you have a small button on the bluetooth headset so that you can answer calls however you haven't got voice calling on the D600, not a big issue cos i never use it anyway I just use speed dial which works great.

If you're not a nokia person this is probably the best smaller phone that you can get at the minute

Thanks for your observations. I'll take a toddle along to my local o2 shop and have a closer look at the D600.
