Samsung or Audiovox on VZW??

Just switched over to VZW from t-mobile due to my company. Went out right away and purchased a Samsung a650, what a disapointment compared to my moto v300 on t-mobile.

Bought thru Costco and the only other VZW phones they carry in my price range is the Samsung a670 or the Audiovox 8910.

My current a650 is going to get returned, about 18 hours stand-by and about 20 mins of talk and the battery needs recharging...ridiculous, had a similar problem with VZW several years ago....chewing up the phones battery.

Does a tri-mode phone (a650) chew up more battery than a fully digital phone a670 or 8910?

Whats the better choice here Audiovox or Samsung?

The only really great Audiovox for Verizon appears to be the 9900, which is VERY hard to find. If you find one though, snap it up quickly. The majority of ppl believe it to be the best phone Verizon offers, period.

In general however, Sammies seem to be better... the 670, for example, is a terrific phone if you don't need trimode or a speakerphone.

The short battery life you're experiencing with the 650 seems odd, though... you may have a defective phone/battery, or your phone may be going into analog mode a lot where you are, which uses up battery life FAR more quickly than digital mode does.

Still, short battery life with analog is better than no service at all, which is what is often the case out in the boondocks analog-only are...
