I would rate this phone with 5 stars if it weren't for the wretched battery life. I'm getting only 24-36 hours on a recharge. (And yes, I've turned off Bluetooth; and yes, put it through several recharges; and no, I'm not using a rapid recharger). Cingular graciously replaced the battery, but the replacement seems to be doing even worse. The worst problem is that the battery meter goes from two bars to none in a matter of minutes. This is in stark contrast to my older Motorola v60, which seemed to go forever. I would avoid this phone.
