    OOoooo now thats a nice feature. Hubby has to have his shut off to charge it.

    Oh yeah, some of the 12v chargers are a joke! We don't use them anymore either. Even though they come with the "kit", we just park them in a drawer. My phone will keep a charge for almost two weeks when fully charged. Its outdated, for sure, but man, I hate to switch, because of the battery life.

    LG 8300 phone and brand new the battery might last a day with moderate use. On stand by it'll last a long time. But making calls will burn thru a charge.

    This seems to be the problem with all Razors, my sons GF has the same issues. I think that by making them so thin, there isn't room for a battery that can keep a charge well enough to power it.

    Yeah, I don't honestly use mine that much. But hubby would use his a LOT!! LOL And his would keep a charge for almost a week even with heavy use.

    We have the Sanyo RL 4920's and they are amazing. I did shut off the roaming alert on them, which extended the battery life to double. So there are some features that you can turn off that will help keep the battery up.

    Like I said, they are outdated, but dang, they are the best phones that we have had. When hubby was throwing chains, his phone went through the ringer and kept on going.

    That razor is the toughest phone I've ever owned though. Its had a few drops out of the truck at fuel stops. One was from my lap face first onto the concrete. Picked it up, put the battery back in lol, and called home. Really tough little device. It looks like its been run over a few times but man does it work well.
