I am surpised that the improvement was that small. Was hoping that the 1700 would last a lot longer than that. I could than watch video and listen to MP3 on long journeys without battery replacement. Looks like I will just have to swap the battery. Sure that I found a posting on here saying that the genuine Nokia battery gave 16 hours runtime (they are 800mAH I think) - will have to do some more investigating.
