This is a real bummer because this phone has the features I wanted but there really is some sort of issue with the battery. Mine would only last 24-30 hours although the box says 200+ hours of standby. I'm on my second phone with the same problem and will be returning it today to get something else entirely. I've talked to both Kyocera and Virgin Mobile about it but no one wants to acknowledge there is a problem. Virgin Mobile customer service has ranged from outright rude to pleasant but unable to solve the problem.So just don't bother buying this phone or know that you're taking a risk if you do. And if you have this phone and are having trouble, please call Virgin Mobile to complain and maybe someday they'll get around to fixing it or making it right.
