Best Phone for Battery Life?

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.verizon (More info?)

My Sony Ericsson T637. I get a solid 8 hours of talk time and if I don't use
it much can standby for about 2 weeks. Yes, these are consistent numbers.
And guess what? Verizon doesn't carry any models like this of course....

The Kyocera 6035 at 5 hours talk, 180 hours standby.

I just picked up an LG VX4400B. I had heard of some complaining about
battery life, but after my 1st full (12 hr) charge I went from full
charge down to 1 bar within about 12 hrs, with less than an hour of
talk time. I'm a little concerned/worried about that. I hope it gets
better than this!

You'll be talking loudly long before then, because the battery will
probably be too hot to hold the phone up to your ear comfortably.

Josh....just wondering if you got similar battery life on the standard
battery? It just seems awful short, when compared to the "claimed"
battery life. I even tried to lessen some of the contrast settings
and I know I was NOT in Analog mode. I think the "claim" is approx
180 min talk and 110 standby? I am barely a fraction of those
numbers. I did call Verizon and they said that this is not close to
correct. I called the store and they have swapped the battery, and
they said if this continues, then to go back and they will swap the
phone itself.

Yes I did have the phone on. As far as signal strength....obviously I
can't say exactly for the full 12 hrs, but typically it would show on
average about 3 bars.

I did end up calling VZW CS and they agreed that this was well below
what it should be. I also called the store (a local Phones + in CO).
The guy that sold it to me said to just bring it in, as he agreed that
what I had was too premature. He swapped the battery and said to try
the new battery, and said if that doesn't work, then he'd swap the
phone. If it gets to that, then I will remember to also swap
chargers! Thanks for the advise!

After my first charge and about 14 hrs standby and maybe 30 min of
talk, it has only dropped 1 bar....so that alone is a major
improvement over the last one. I'll keep you posted!

Josh,

Nokia 3589i does both. Battery life standby time 2-3 days even after
60 minutes of calls. If you want a flip phone, one with camera, or
games, this phone is not.
