LG VX-8700
I think the battery is not going to cut it !
Days of testing and I am very dissapointed.
The 8700 with it's 800Mah battery is just not going to be a marathon runner.
Looks like I get about 2 hours and 10 minutes of talk time just about everyday.. It seems to be able to go longer and then it just poops out.
The battery meter is a horror.. You could get 1hour or more out of bar one and then all hell breaks loose.. It drops like a rock and the low battery warning will allow for almost no action and it just dies.
The 8300 has a 1100Mah battery and they dare put a 800 in this puppy with a much larger screen to eat the battery for lunch.
So I am out for now..
Back to the 8300 and still testing KRZR battery life. Seems to get like 3 hours consistantly with it's micro screen...

Ugh this stinks... My 8500 (version 4) hardly lasts with all the texting I do. Cingular (with unlocked GSM phones) here I come...
