The battery life is excellent, it uses the same recharger cord as my Nokia phone, so it is convenient during travel. It's an excellent improvement from the corded headset and an all around terrific device.My next purchas will definitely be a Nokia device, but I have come back to provide a review 2 months after my initial purchas. These are the things I would consider prior to your purchase.1) Volume could be louder--I sometimes have a difficult time hearing others. This is usually not the case for me.2) This device picks up wind when I walk. People have asked me why I am breathing heavy! That's so funny because I'm in pretty good shape, but the device is quite sensitive and others claim they hear me well.Despite these minor shortcomings, I will go back to Nokia with my next phone and headset purchases.
