I took care of my battery. sometimes it dies within 15 minutes, sometimes it lasts days. This phone's battery is AWFUL. I'd have maybe 30 min (which sucks when you're on hold and not near a charger). My sisters' phone also cracked after being dropped one too many times- that's right, the supposedly shatterproof front glass panel. I made sure I wasn't doing anything that could severely screw it up. If I leave it on and do nothing.
Also, if it does die, or if I simply turn it off, the battery will revive itself after ~15min. It was fine when I first got the phone, though I admit I don't use it that much. Very very unreliable. Within a couple of months, the battery would discharge pretty fast. At less than a year old, I can talk for about 8 minutes before the battery dies.But wait, there's more. When I start using it, obviously it dies faster again, but the longer it is off, the longer the next run will last (or so it seems).I know a few people with this phone that have the same issues. Yes, it's a beautiful phone, but save yourself the frustration, get something else.
Replaced battery numerous times to no avail. It is the worst phone I have ever had. Dont waste your time or money on his phone. This phone also looses its mind when it cant connect to a tower. From day one the battery life was awful. One or two phone calls phone is dead. Cycling and Cycling killing the phone within 2 or 3 min. Other features that suck: the alarm clock which works when it wants to, the verizon software (not motorolas fault) runs rediculosly slow, connection to the tower is nominal at best most times (which is motorolas fault) I live in the burbs and havent had any problems getting service with any other verizon phone ive owned.DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE.
The front of the phone is already cracked just from normal use - I have not dropped it, although sometimes I want to out of frustration. I decided to switch from Sprint to AT&T, specifically to get access to this phone. Before I bought it, I read all the reviews and found that it was much better than the RAZR. Noone can hear me when I use the bluetooth feature through my car. It is ridiculous. or so I thought.I have had this phone for a little over a year.
And probably the biggest issue is that I consistently get dropped calls. I was drawn to the small, thin size of the phone and the flashy blue color. In addition, the phone freezes from time to time and I cannot receive incoming calls. I hate it. I can barely hear people, as the sound is muffled through the phone. This happens even when I am speaking with another AT&T network user.
If I didn't have this contract for another 11 months, I would definitely switch.
However, the phones challenges continue on to the next phone. The problem was that it would always be broken during the times I was traveling and really could have used my phone. I got this phone because of looks and still love the look of it, however, I am on my forth one of the same pretty but useless phone. The screen would go fuzzy or white without warning. I am so done with this phone but too cheap to pay agian for a new one. The first one the incoming sound went out, neither phone was dropped or went for a swim or anything, just stopped working, and while those I called could hear me, this was not enought. Then when it finally managed to stay broken long enought I got it in to get a new one.
They replaced it with my fourth. I have been lucky in that it breaks in a way that is no way my fault and I continue to get replacements for free with Verizon. The third one I did not wait at all for it to stay broken, I took it in and said it wasnt working for the past two days, and just started five minutes ago on the way here. Then next TWO phones, yes I am on number four. The first one did it on and off for a few weeks but it seemed to work just fine as we got close to a Verizon store (of course). Unfortunatly I have to report I have already had the screen go blank on my twice but it only lasted a few minutes, this time. PS I have had this phone since Jan 08 and its now Sept 08 and getting ready to get number five.
Purchased over the phone when I renewed my contract, this phone had all the features I required and a couple more. Verizon has always given us superior coverage, customer service and fewer dropped calls. I neglected to buy the insurance, but would not pay $50 for a new one anyway. However, this phone is an exception. I usually have a high tolerance for glitches. Do peole really pay $500 for this piece of trash. (There is only so much room in a handbag). I prefer removable memory because I listen to training and language tapes often and do not wish to carry a million CD's or my Ipod everywhere I go.
Every Moto phone we have owned has been superlative. The newer model has changed this, I believe. It is often easier to bear it than go to the trouble to fix the proble. I do not intend to drop my carrier. The card slot is BEHIND the battery and is not at all convenient. Everything else negative that has been said about this phone has been experienced by me, except the interface features because I haven't had time to even format my SD cards. I will educate myself on how to buy a used phone so that I may make some calls until my contract runs out--over a year from now. Anybody wanna buy a battery with 15 minutes of life left.
