The Statistics page has been completely redesigned - you can now see the energy consumption history per application. Many of these are common sense (turning down display brightness, reducing email check frequency, disabling WLAN scanning, etc - there's an All About Symbian tutorial on all this coming up shortly), but it's nice to have them all collected in one place. There's a useful scrollable panel providing tips on how the end user can save power and improve battery life with their own actions. Power saving mode can be set to activate automatically on battery level specified by the user. There's a new page, currently providing a quick and easy access to the Power Saving Mode and power critical display settings (display brightness and display timeout). As this happens gradually over hundreds of charging/discharging cycles, it is not easy for the end user to notice this degradation, but Battery Monitor will now analyse the battery capacity during charging cycles and notify the user when a replacement is recommended. The maximum capacity of batteries will degrade over their lifetime.
