Rather than replacing my V710 phone, I thought I'd just try replacing the battery. I was literally getting about 20 minutes of talk time. So, the new battery, you ask? I don't know. Maybe now I get about 90 minutes of talk time. It still feels pretty pathetically short. As of July 1st, I'll be required to use a hands free device when driving. Maybe that will also increase my talk time. Hope so. For now, the price of the new battery is better than the alternative cost of buying a new phone and having to re-up my provider contract.
