Ok, Sprint didn’t work at my house and the battery life on the cam phone (with little to no use) was about 14 hours. Unacceptable. I went back to AT&T.. got a new phone.. the Nokia 6800. Battery life seems to be insanely good.. been showing it off, sending/receiving text messages, listening to the radio, using the alarm, spoke on it for about a total of 20-30min over the last 4 days.. without charging it.. and I’m down to 6 of the 7 bars on the battery indicator. The cool parts on this phone include speakerphone, flip-out keyboard, good reception most places so far, excellent battery life, neat earpiece comes standard, midi ringtone support, and the free sync software from Nokia (infrared works just fine from my laptop). The only problem I’ve had was that the #s on the phone came from my T68i sim card.. all which were out dated and it imported them as NAME/W, NAME/H, NAME/M instead of really realizing they were NAME then mobile/home/work and actually entering them correctly. With the built-in keyboard and the sync software, editing things and correcting has been easy
Ah, the trials and tribulations, the joys and sorrows of being one of the world’s biggest gadget geeks.
