General Comments

I was stoked to get my new phone just over a year ago, and found it quite adequate for everyday use. It was lightweight, had great features and seemed all good at the time. After several months several problems became apparent. Whenever the battery ran flat, it wouldnt run totally flat and therefore you have a problem. As we all know, if a rechargable battery isnt run completely flat it does strange things. The phone would report having "Low Battery" only hours after being charged, then it would switch it's self off for a few days intermittently then run like normal for a few more days until you'd get the real "Low Battery" warning. This worsened until I had the forsight to drain the battery completely. I wont go into how I did that but I can be done with a minimum of hassle. Then one day, out of the blue, the phone wouldnt turn on at all. Gee, amazing that... Warranty is for 12 months, phone dies in just under 13 months. Now I'm stuck with a phone that doesnt work paying for a contract I cant make any use of, because Motorola and the dealer wont have anything to do with it. Apart from that, the phone itself is flimsy, I wouldnt never use it out of a leather case, because it would break if even sneezed on. Not an impressive phone. Bad customer support and a tonne of other hassles made this phone a big hassle.

    Please note: This phone uses Lithium Ion Batteries. These batteries to dont have to be completly flattened before recharging. Ive had the same phone for 2 years, and have never had a problem with it. I think you got a dud.
