Yes, it's a beautiful phone, but save yourself the frustration, get something else. My sisters' phone also cracked after being dropped one too many times- that's right, the supposedly shatterproof front glass panel. If I leave it on and do nothing. It was fine when I first got the phone, though I admit I don't use it that much. At less than a year old, I can talk for about 8 minutes before the battery dies.But wait, there's more. Also, if it does die, or if I simply turn it off, the battery will revive itself after ~15min.
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. I took care of my battery. I'd have maybe 30 min (which sucks when you're on hold and not near a charger). sometimes it dies within 15 minutes, sometimes it lasts days. I made sure I wasn't doing anything that could severely screw it up. This phone's battery is AWFUL.
Within a couple of months, the battery would discharge pretty fast. Very very unreliable.
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. Replaced battery numerous times to no avail. One or two phone calls phone is dead. It is the worst phone I have ever had. Dont waste your time or money on his phone. From day one the battery life was awful. This phone also looses its mind when it cant connect to a tower.
If I didn't have this contract for another 11 months, I would definitely switch. Noone can hear me when I use the bluetooth feature through my car. I was drawn to the small, thin size of the phone and the flashy blue color. I can barely hear people, as the sound is muffled through the phone. And probably the biggest issue is that I consistently get dropped calls. This happens even when I am speaking with another AT&T network user. Before I bought it, I read all the reviews and found that it was much better than the RAZR. I hate it.
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. It is ridiculous. 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. In addition, the phone freezes from time to time and I cannot receive incoming calls.
PS I have had this phone since Jan 08 and its now Sept 08 and getting ready to get number five. I am so done with this phone but too cheap to pay agian for a new one. Then when it finally managed to stay broken long enought I got it in to get a new one. 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 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). They replaced it with my fourth.
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. However, the phones challenges continue on to the next phone. The screen would go fuzzy or white without warning. The problem was that it would always be broken during the times I was traveling and really could have used my phone. 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. 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.
Then next TWO phones, yes I am on number four. 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.
Took it off the charger at 7 a.m. Overall, the phone looks good, but if you want something that lasts the full two years, I'd go with something different. I charged my phone all night long, didn't use it at all. Who knew.
and went to make a call at 10 a.m. I've allso noticed it has dropped calls even though I have full bars or just not let me connect even though I have full bars. I was extremely happy with it in the beginning. It's quite strange because at other times, I can make/receive phone calls with no bars. ;) Now after having the phone for about a year, the battery life stinks. of 2006 as an upgrade to my new every 2 plan.
The battery life was excellent and the sound quality superior. And contrary to some others comments, it's not because I use it too much or dont charge it all the way. and it went dead. There's too much inconsistency. I bought the KRZR in Oct. It looked pretty too.
Now occasionally I've found that when it goes dead, I can turn the phone off for a few secs, turn it back on, and miraculously, there's my long lost battery life.
