V600?

Hi Olivier, I guess if you've bad reception, or you use all of the features
alot then it will drop. I use mine mainly for calls, messaging and playing
games. The reception I have is generally high. Have you switched on battery
save under initial setup?

Can you let me know how to do this, I'm very interested. What cable do I
need for this? I presume it wont work by bluetooth. Do you have a link that
details what to do?

Cheers,
Matt

I used pk2man and motorola tools.... (don't forget the 'back up' bit though, just in case!)

And there are a lot of negative reviews of the v600 on one of the phone
sites, I think it's Howard Forums, perhaps Phonescoop.

That said, I've heard that the ones that T-Mobile (my carrier) has are a
newer edition and much improved. (TM has just started carrying the V600.)

I guess there is something to be said about not being an "early adopter",
the first person to buy a new model. They often have bugs at the beginning,
that are fixed with time.

Mine doesn't last 10 days , around 5 and that is using it for about 30mins
/day.

I'm surprised yours only last a day.

Surprisingly, I charged it 3 days ago and not anymore since then... I
can't tell why.

However, using alternate antennas (flashing, telescopic,...) doesn't
help either for what it's supposed to do.

Maybe it was the reason why the phone was pumping battery.
