   My phone is fairly basic and not too powerful, likely why they claim   
   such long battery life for it. It is a Quad-Core 1.3 GHz so it's   
   not horrible but there have been a lot of phones over the last few   
   years so powerful that they will kill a battey in less than 8 hours   
   even when not much in use.   
      
   EV>I mostly use Data on it. But phone calls also since I dropped the L/L   
   service   
     >when I got this phone.   
      
   Yes, I still have a L/L which I use for most regular phone calls.   
   My cell is mostly for data or when I leave the house for a length   
   of time to have available for emergencies.. And for the rare Long   
   Distance call since I don't have a LD Plan on my L/L..   
      
   EV>When I need to get a Battery for it my thoughts are to see if a wholesale   
     >Electronics store in my area would have a better price than the cellphone   
     >company I have service with OR even Motorola Co.   
      
   Yes, it's a bit of a crap shoot. Usually you are safer buying one   
   from the original manufacturer, but they do usually cost more.   
   I worry about it since I've seen a lot of 'reviews' on places   
   like Amazon where people complained bitterly about how bad their   
   new battery is compared to the original.
