Battery life sucks, but still like it.

I use mainly it when out shopping to listen to music and still be able to hear so I am not completely oblivious to whats going on around me, used to sometimes wear my earbuds and just leave one dangling, this is so much better. i do wish the battery lasted longer while streaming music/netflix/etc, it is pretty accurate in the description that streaming the battery lasts about 2.5or so hours
Edit: I came back to update my review and say how the battery life and the ear clip both just aren't very good, and I noticed they now have a new version that looks like both these issues have been updated, so I would not recommend getting this older model. It used to stay in my ear better without the ear clip, now it won't stay in, and I started using the ear clip wth it, but it must have been designed for someone with huge ears bc it makes the earbud not fit into my ear very well all in the position it holds it in.

I was hoping for nearly 3x longer battery life with this, sadly it's no where near that. It beats the stock battery by about double I'd guess.  Still easy to drain during a 12 hour day, and that's without 4g and GPS turned on.  The back cover isn't great, but gets the job done. Phone is still reasonably sized for me. I did have to sacrifice the case, so keep that in mind.  Invest in a good screen protector.  Also there were no instructions included, so make sure to read some of the reviews here with tips to get the most out of it.

It's battery life is horrible. this was the only mp3 player that I charged more than once a week only to have it cut off 2 days later. It's not like I listen to it continously or leave it on; I turn it off when I don't use it.

I got this phone for a long period of travel. Although it's functioned pretty well--the dual sim cards are convenient when you have to get a card for each new country--, I'm already looking for a replacement. It's the battery life that's the deal breaker: If I turn all apps off, all GPS, bluetooth and data connections, it will last an entire day. But if I have any of those things on, the battery doesn't last an entire day. Which means that it won't even be suitable for at home, where I'll of course want a phone that lasts until bedtime.
I thought I might've gotten a bad battery, so I ordered another one. Same short life. Also, during the first couple of weeks with the phone, it dropped calls if I merely gestured while holding the phone: the only way to avoid dropped calls was to put it on speaker and lay it on a flat surface. That problem eventually faded away, and I haven't had a dropped call in months.
I bought it as an amazon gold box deal, and at the time I thought that it was so cheap I wouldn't mind if it wasn't the greatest phone. But I was wrong: I do mind, and dashing about trying to find a way to charge the #***! battery really pisses me off.
Buy this phone only if you can charge your phone twice daily.

While this works, the battery life is so short it seems to be a lot more trouble to keep it charged than it is worth.  Most people won't notice when the battery goes dead, and assume they are still getting the features offered.  If you use it as a bluetooth speaker phone, expect even shorter battery life.  I got about 12 to 15 hours.  Not a full day for many people.

Battery expansion is great, but the touch pad is junk and just seems to get in the way.  Worth it for the battery life though

Pros:
- Keyboard is pretty solid.
- Case is sturdy.
- Pairs quickly.

Cons:
- Battery life is horrible (3-4 weeks after a full charge). This is no fluke -- it has the same short battery life on another one that I bought for a family member. To put this into perspective, the Logitech UltraThin keyboard that I previously used had a battery life of about 5-6 months with the same level of use. That's a huge difference. Also, when the battery gets low, there's no warning light or anything. You'll just start to notice that random letters pop up as you type, keystrokes start to skip, etc. That's when you know it needs to be recharged.

- Random periods (.) pop up as I type from time to time. I used to attribute this to a low battery, but it seems to happen even a day or two after it's been fully charged, so I'm pretty sure there's something else going on here. It doesn't happen that often, so it's not a huge deal -- just a bit annoying.

- The rubber latch for closing the case does not retract or swivel away. It juts out in the front of the keyboard, which is not only an eye sore, but it can also poke you in the chin if you're lying on the bed with the iPad on your chest and close to your face. This is just a minor quibble, but I figured it was worth mentioning in case New Trent is looking to improve future models.

I had been a Panasonic phone fan for many years, but the NiCad battery issue finally got to me. All Panasonic phones use NiCad batteries, which have a "memory effect" so that the battery life shortens considerably with regular use.
So I bought the Uniden phone since it has a NiMH battery, which doesn't have a memory effect. The feature set also seemed quite nice. After two months of use, I am relatively satisfied with the phone, but not elated.
Pros: First, the phone doesn't interfere with my wireless network. This was an issue with 2.4GHz phones, which share the same bandwidth as wireless networks. Second, battery life is respectable. Third, the ring is loud and clear. Finally, having the extra handset and charging station is convenient.
Cons: Although battery life is good, there is no way to tell how much battery life is left. One day it was working, and the next day it was dead, without any warning. One of the other reviewers also mentioned this. Second, the answering machine doesn't let you erase messages without listening to each one. This may be idiot-proof, but if you use your answering machine to screen calls, you know what is on the message and just want to erase it.
I'll keep this phone, but it hasn't ended my search for a better cordless phone. Seems all the innovation is going toward cell phones these days.

Battery life sucks! Durability moderate and versatility 0

Well, had to have one.  Purchased myself a KindleDX for my birthday present to myself.  I like the fact that I can read PDF files, as I'm a writer and it helps for reading my own books.

Problem is the battery life is way worse than advertised.  Mine is less than a month old and the battery, with wireless on, doesn't even last 24 hours--let alone 7 days.

Would have preferred to have "page ahead" on both sides--not just the right (I hold it right handed, would like to turn pages with my left)

The text to speech is 'so-so'  hey--it works.

Don't like the fact that it doesn't actually download your purchases.  It archives them. If you're not in a 3g or wireless area--you can't access your books.

Love being able to read it even outdoors.  Great feature.  Wish there was some type of built-in light to read it in the dark--as I'm a bedtime reader.

The experimental browser isn't bad at all.  Works fine.

It's difficult to find a certain page in a book.  Would be better if there had been just a number pad like they put on some laptops now.  It's a pain to have to hit two keys for each digit you want to type.

I have no issues with the contrast.  I have awful eyesight, and I have no problem at all reading text or pdf files.

Just wish the battery lasted LONGER!  Huge difference between 7 days and 18 hours!

All in all--not sure it was $380 worth.  But, I'm a gadget person.

I'd have probably been just as happy with the less expensive version of the Kindle.

While the product sounds great for the small package, and is quite portable, the battery life is worse than awful.  I bought this to use at tailgating for football games, and was happy, until the battery only lasted three hours.  I took it back, tried another one, and the same thing happened.

If battery life is not important to you, the speakers definitely sound good for their size, but if you're looking for something with a reasonable battery life, this isn't it.

The battery life is not great.  No charging light or anything.  You just plug it in and wait.  Other than that it,  does what it is supposed to do.

So-so battery life... but better than my worn-out original.

Update: After posting my original review Mpow contacted me and sent me a replacement unit and battery life has been much better.  We'll see if that continues after I've used it for more than a couple of months.

Original review: I'm very unimpressed with the inconsistent battery life.  Sometimes I can get hours and hours of talk and standby time, sometimes it's less than an hour, and with no warning that the battery is low.  Disappointing.  Sound quality and mic quality are good when there's battery life.

The battery life sucks, I really thing the phone is great. I want to send it back but I can't afford to. I should at least be sent a new battery, if that is the problem. It was rated to have 12 hours of talk time, and I can't even get, 1 hour of play time.

The battery on this thing sucks ass.  It's a one time use item it seems.  I was downloaded and played a word game for a total of about 1 and a half hours and it went from 100% to 7%.  I can't even really bring it anywhere to read or play with because it just dies by the time I get home.  I mean it's just enough I guess, but I was very unhappy with battery life.

Love it except the battery life is not good.  I can only go 2 days without charging it.  That makes it hard to track activities AND sleep.
