This phone's battery is AWFUL. At less than a year old, I can talk for about 8 minutes before the battery dies.But wait, there's more. I took care of my battery. Within a couple of months, the battery would discharge pretty fast.
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. If I leave it on and do nothing. Very very unreliable. My sisters' phone also cracked after being dropped one too many times- that's right, the supposedly shatterproof front glass panel. 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.
sometimes it dies within 15 minutes, sometimes it lasts days. Yes, it's a beautiful phone, but save yourself the frustration, get something else. I made sure I wasn't doing anything that could severely screw it up. I'd have maybe 30 min (which sucks when you're on hold and not near a charger).
Cycling and Cycling killing the phone within 2 or 3 min. Replaced battery numerous times to no avail. This phone also looses its mind when it cant connect to a tower. Dont waste your time or money on his phone. 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. From day one the battery life was awful. It is the worst phone I have ever had. One or two phone calls phone is dead.
This happens even when I am speaking with another AT&T network user. In addition, the phone freezes from time to time and I cannot receive incoming calls. I hate it. It is ridiculous. Noone can hear me when I use the bluetooth feature through my car. I decided to switch from Sprint to AT&T, specifically to get access to this phone.
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. 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. If I didn't have this contract for another 11 months, I would definitely switch. Before I bought it, I read all the reviews and found that it was much better than the RAZR.
I can barely hear people, as the sound is muffled through the 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 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). However, the phones challenges continue on to the next phone. Then next TWO phones, yes I am on number four.
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. Then when it finally managed to stay broken long enought I got it in to get a new one. 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. I am so done with this phone but too cheap to pay agian for 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 problem was that it would always be broken during the times I was traveling and really could have used my phone. PS I have had this phone since Jan 08 and its now Sept 08 and getting ready to get number five. 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. The screen would go fuzzy or white without warning.
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. Do peole really pay $500 for this piece of trash. I usually have a high tolerance for glitches. However, this phone is an exception. 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. 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.
Every Moto phone we have owned has been superlative. I do not intend to drop my carrier.
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.
It is often easier to bear it than go to the trouble to fix the proble. (There is only so much room in a handbag).
Anybody wanna buy a battery with 15 minutes of life left. I neglected to buy the insurance, but would not pay $50 for a new one anyway.
The newer model has changed this, I believe.
