Just got my 4650 - display question

I did much research for a replacement phone that I use only to make calls - it is my only phone. So quality and reception were primary.

My first 4650 had a charging issue - would last for no more than an hour of talk and then it was dead. It was replaced easily at the store. Phone #2 - during the first charge the outer screen went black (not blank but solid black) I opened and closed it and all was well again - then it did it again - then I turned it off till the charge was full. The battery seams to be better, but this issue with the display is bothersom if it continues.

The reception, quality, speaker, voice activation, menus, all that are VERY GOOD! I would try another of the same should the display go bad.

If anyone knows w...

Relax...

This is "normal" behavior for the 4650...

After you plug in the charger the outside display's backlight comes on and the battery status shows the "running bars" display to indicate charging... the backlight will go off in about a minute (but the LCD display should still be visible)...

When charging is completed the backlight will come back on, and STAY on, while "Charge Complete" is displayed continually until the charger is unplugged...

update - the outer display went solid black after a call this afternnon. I exchanged it for a third 4650. I like the phone, but this will be the last one. If thisone malfunctions - I trying a different phone.

Aside from these 2 bad phones - the sounds quality, speaker phone, and voice rec. are excellent. I had an LG before this one fore\ 3 years and it was superior as well. I am hoping these problems were flukes. All the other reviews of this phoen indicate that is the case. I will update as needed.

Any input would be appreciated.

I have talked 1.5 hours on a full charge and the battery in 1/2 gone. Is that about normal? That is my only concern at this point. Everything else is running smooth.

Sounds spot on to me and what I'm seeing on mine.

I haven't had this problem. I did get a bad travel charger when I first got the phone.

The third phone is working good. I am hooked on speaker phone. That is the best feature - especially combined with voice activation!!!

I am getting just shy of 3 hours of talk time per charge. Not too bad.
