Nextel phones have awesome battery life. It could be that your phone was sitting in the store too long and the battery was old. Or if you bought it seperate, it may have been used.
Nextel's direct connect takes a lot of battery life. So if you're useing it its going to drain faster. You can buy exteneded life batteries that will last longer than normal, but they get hot and could damage the boards on your phone.
For what all a nextel does.. it has awesome battery life.
Keep in mind its going to be shorter if you have the flashing antenna, keypad, battery, and what have yous.

nextel phones have awesome battery life? hahahah yea right. in comparision to what? look at sanyo look at lg look at other motorola phoens and other manufacturers becuase you will see that they have a lot better battery life then nextel's.

i dont know what you are looking at exactly in regards to battery life but to repeat nextel has a terrible battery life. old, new, or whatever they still have a bad battery life especially if you compare it to other manufacturers.

sorry to tell you the truth but it is.

My nextel has good battery life. I'll admit I don't have the stock battery tho. 😉 Mine will sit on standby for six or seven days. If I actually use it I get about four. I got my phone as a handmedown deal, and when I got it the battery was a dud. So I ordered it from Motorola and its been good for me.

i have nextel for 5 going on 6 years in a few months. i have had all kinds of phones from nextel and their battery life is terrible.

your phone sits on standby for 6 or 7 days? hahahah yea right. i think only if it can last that much on standby is if you dont use your phone what-so-ever. i am not implying that you have no friends since you have a long standby but nextel phones are terrible with the battery life in general.

like i said earlier, new battery or old battery motorola makes a terrible battery for us nextel consumers. it is a shame that motorola makes better batteries for other providers and not for nextel, but they will get theirs when we wont use their infrastructure and phones any more.

Most Lithium Ion batteries have a short life. I know Sony Ericsson uses Lithium Ion Polymer's and those things last forever. My father's Sony Ericsson P910 gets about 10 hours talk time, and about 350 hours standby time. No bullshit. I also have a Sony Ericsson, a T637, my battery life is nowhere near as good as his, but still pretty damn good. I think Lithium Ion's Polymer's are helluva lot better, I don't understand why Nextel or even the iDEN division don't integrate them into their phones. I'm sure it'd make alot of people happier.

I had an i730 and an i710 and I completely dreaded their battery life because before Nextel I was with T Mobile using a Sony Ericsson. So I wasnt used to such poor battery life. I even bought on of ...

very good post.

with regards to, " don't understand why Nextel or even the iDEN division don't integrate them into their phones. I'm sure it'd make alot of people happier." maybe becuase motorola iden is trying to mess with nextel becuase they have before in the past with the delaying of the 6:1 voice coder and probably delaying the WIDEN upgrade. they also delayed many phones probably becuase of motorola. so i guess this is nothing new. plus i also think motorola iden is trying to mess up nextel. again, they will get theirs when nextel/sprint merge.
