yes mine makes it 2 days NP, I don't think the battery meter is very accurate tho, you can buy a better battery too.

damn, I couldn't get my battery off, I had to pry it out, I think when I dropped it in beer the other night some of it got behind the battery and stuck it together...seals are only around the contacts.

probably just over 2 wks or just approaching it. i could always swap it out for a different one. I am "testing" out how long it will last as we speak. So il see how it goes!

When you say it cant make it 24 hours, what exactly do you mean? Are you fully charging it and it gets to the point where the phone shuts off or it is just getting down to 1 bar so you think it needs to be recharged?

Also about how long are you talking on it each day? How long did your previous phone last? What model was your previous phone?

I have the 900 min plan and talk about 45-50 min per day. I text a good amount as well. I am comparing it to my 8300, which lasts maybe 2 days depending on how much I talk. And when I say it can't make 24 hours, it starts off fully charged, and for example, when I went to bed the other night it had one bar, and when I woke up the phone was off.

It went the entire day and at the end of the day had one bar left, so you went to bed without charging it 😕

pretty weak! I would say if I talk and text a fair amount I get 24hrs. Over the years I've gotten in the habit of dropping it in the charger every night. Once a month i'll run the battery down.
The Gzone is my only phone, I don't have a landline anymore, so I have a car charger and charger at the office. It's when you need the thing most, when you're making 100 calls when your parent is in the emergency room(my most common example!), that it craps out.
I'll sacrifice some talk time for a phone that doesn't shatter when I drop it.
