Cell phone battery life

[Will Wood]

Looking to get a new phone this Christmas as a present to myself.
I use Verizon as a provider, and want to get the best phone, battery life wise.
I absolutely loved the slider phone, but that's not available to get any more

Does anyone else have any recomendations for a cool phone with awsome battery life? Or if there is anything like more powerfull batteries available.

I pretty much know nothing about my service and what phones I can use under it, but I assume I'm limited to these?

Yea, the Razr looks really nice. Looks nice, havn't heard much about it's actually performance though.

do not get the motorola v300 i dont know if verizon offers it or not, but avoid it like the plague. i had 4 of these phones, and none of them worked right except for my first, which was run over by a ford t bird.


GO samsung. im immensely happy with my E315 which is pretty close in opperation to the2 samsungs verizon does offer. i would reccomend them over all

also a price range would help too.

if you want to find out TONS of info on phones go to www.howardforums.com they will have info on all the phones for all providers

I'd spend up to 200, probably. (Taking into account rebates). I plan on making this a phone for a long time, so I want it to last.


I'll check out that site.

my old lady has the Samsung SCH-a650
she likes it but its too small for me

Go with a Samsung. Mine works great and has a pretty long battery life. I think it can last 24 hours+( guesstamite) or something if I dont use it.

Get the V60 it's about $30

I break beat up my phone too often to justify spending any money on it. I think moterola does make a better phone though. The samsungs i've had have been junk.

i have a v60i. battery lasts about 3-4 days w/o charge, and I use it constatntly for work. Stay away from color screens if your worried about battery time. It's very durable too; has some normal ring tones (those weird pansy tones bother me, samsung phones tend to not include a normal ring) and its small.

3-4 days? How do you manage that, I don't use mine very often and get about 2.

I love my Samsung VGA1000.

When the phone was new, I could go over a week without charging the phone if I wasn't talking much. I use my phone mostly for short calls, like finding out where people are, etc. The battery is getting old now though, so I have to charge the phone every 2 - 3 days.

I've also dropped it multiple times and it withstood the beating very well. A few scratches, but still works like a champ.

I highly reccomend Samsung.

why does it matter if your battery lasts longer than 1 day anyway. Just plug it in at nighttime.

My Motorola v400 is an awesome phone. I lacks cool ringtones stock, but you can download them. Battery life is excellent. If I'm not using it all that much I can easily get a week out of it without having to recharge. It recharges really fast. Usually, I just plug it in at night.
