"As ever, Motorola shine in connectivity, signal strength and speed of use. But whatever's happened to battery life on even a simple non-3G, VGA-camera phone like this, I would really like to know from anyone qualified in the technical side of the mobile business. Ignore the standby and talktime estimates for this phone, it runs out of battery power within a day whether used or not. And before someone says I was 'just unlucky with my phone', I am an experienced mobile user and know how to minimise power usage. I even bought a second model and tried three different batteries to test them and the firmware/software. Useless. Simple advice: don't buy this phone. Atrocious. O2 have stopped selling it within three months of it coming out. I'm not surprised. Refund? Forget it." |
