Cell/Mobile Phones

[emc]

I have a couple questions here.

1) Does anyone here own or know someone who owns the Motorola V3x? Thoughts and opinions please

2) Is it just me, or has phone battery life gone down completely? I bought a phone a month ago and it died the other day. Sent back to the manufacturer, but I've had experiences before where I haven't heard back from them

Thanks

Not sure about the Motorola you mentioned, but as far as battery life, every time I upgrade phones it seems to go way up. My current phone, which is simply a NOKIA 6030 seems to have 5-10 times the battery life of my older NOKIA when it was new. My current phone has a color screen the older had black and white, so I actually expected it to be less. While the phone is turned on it is constantly pinged by the account, so if you have a lot of activity, have not set up the power saving options, or possibly a GPS functionality on the phone, this may be part of the problem.

I am in no way an expert, but these are a few things I have heard. It could just be the brand uses cr@ppy batteries, which is a consideration as well. I know some of the batteries from China for any device are not equal to many others.
