I just signed with with VW and received 2 Nokia 2128i phones yesterday. They are both activated and functional. Charged the 2 phones with the chargers that came with them. Both phones indicated that they were fully charged. Overnight, I left one phone on, and one phone off. In the morning the phone that was on, the battery had dropped down to almost no charge (no bars were showing, but the phone was still on), the second phone that was completely powered off dropped down from full charge to 2 of 6 bars.

With one phone I would say the battery was defective, but with two, not so much.

Li-Ion batteries can take several charges to build up to what they should be. That does sound unusual for it to drop that quickly though. I would try charging them a couple more times before deciding if they are defective or not.

I have found that often new LiIon batteries in phones and other gadgets I've purchased sometimes take several full cycles before their capacity levels out.
I use 4-5 full charge discharge cycles before making a 'defective' claim...
