Holy **** is all I can say. I ran a test last night and had it call my other phone - it stayed alive for over 7 hours talk time before giving a low battery warning at 0430.

Hoorah endurance!

Thats impressive Wolfala. The phone looks good too.

My wife has that phone and loves it. I'm... so so on it. It has some nice features, but you really can't seem to customize it as much as I'd like.

I have the less well-known Siemens S66 which I love. It is phenomenal, but not as good endurance as the Moto.

I had one...tapped the display way too many times trying to get the earpiece working and cracked the display

No more Motorola. Unfortunatley, I didn't have insurance so I'm on a Nokia kids phone right now.

i like Sony-Ericsson phones, upgraded today to a K750i, its a great phone, camera and video capture on it are superb.

Just wait a couple of months before the battery starts crapping out on you. Then when you close the phone after you make a call and it shuts itself off and you don't realize it for 2-3 hours and you are wondering why no customers have called you on your cell phone...then you look down and the f***** is shut down.

Our company was "upgraded" to these because our former phones the V600 were POS's as well. Those started out great and then about 6 months into them they started going to hell in a handbasket. My former V600 would loose its memory and the result would be lost notes I made in it. I just recently had the same thing happen with my V551 and have called Motorola and raised hell with our office manager who got the phones "upgraded". I don't mind motorola phones I just don't ever want another fracking flip phone POS again. I don't know what I will end up with but as I said I don't want a flip phone again.

Sony Ericsson W800i here - first Walkman phone. Superb phone with great features and the MP3 stuff is awesome.

Last phone was a Motorola V3 Razr - nicely built and looked good, but the software was crap. Won't buy Motorola again.

Had Sprint before with a Sanyo 4900 for 5 years - loved it, worked beautifully. Would have another - downside, no one else uses them - and I wanted to kill Sprint. So went to Cingular, got the military discount + 100 bux off on the 2 phones + the mail rebate. I use my phones till they are dead, while I don't expect these will last as long as my last 1 (which i never changed the battery and always got 4 hour talk time and 7 days between charges), i'm hoping for a better experience.

Time will tell...

I now have the Nokia N90. Previously I used the Nokia 6680. I must say they're both really good phones, but the 416x352 screen of the N90 is just superb!

I don't actually use the camera so much, since, I'm mostly using my Canon EOS-350 for the photography so I really don't see much use for the cameras. The video thingy is a bonus, since my regular camera has no video stuff whatsoever, due to obvios reasons. The CIF resoluton mpeg4 is quite enough.

looks ghey though, decided against getting it because it is white and orange. K750 is identical without the mp3 software (which is downloadable.)

will get memory stick for my k750i and get the mp3 storage without the crappy colourness.

any blakberry users here. I have been a crackberry for almost 3 years now. The 7100 sucked at first but now I like it better than 6230 , 7230 that I had before.

You can send me that spare 6680 if you want too
