I purchased this phone a little over a month ago. I just cant believe the battery life on this phone. I can talk for so long and still have full bars. I have gone as long as 4 days without recharging and been able to use it as if it had been recharged. I travel alot and sometimes recharging is difficult. With this phone I need not worry.Its a great phone..the speakerphone and the ease to find a contact and call the previous caller etc can be better but all in all its not a bad choice.
