| jlatels's Full Review: Motorola Timeport P8767 Cell Phone |
I used to love this phone. It was silver, it looked cool, and it was an upgrade from my old Motorola (those ubiquitous black ones). It has a web feature, and the phone book allows you to store names and several phone number for each name.
After a little over a year, the battery started to die on me. Now, I am a very by-the-books person, so I read the literature carefully and would occasionally "condition" the battery by letting it run down and charge it back up again. However, it's gotten to the point where it'll only last two days if I use it (longer of course if it's on standby). It is extremely frustrating to have your battery monitor go down one bar if you use the phone for more than a minute. My husband has the Samsung 8500 (another silver wonder) and he never conditions his batteries but they last longer than mine (granted, his battery is larger, but not by that much).
Also, this phone gets poorer reception compared to the 8500. We have held our phones side by side (we both subscribe to Sprint) and he would get a couple of bars and I would only get one. Worse still even with one bar he has a better chance of establishing a call. I almost never can with just one bar.
