Low Batt Analog + wall charger... ?...

Can someone try to anwer this for me before I buy. I would like to know if my pet peeve about my current cellphone is also present in the v710... or not. I have a Kyocera phone and the battery is almost completely drained on any analog call I make from my house (which is jjjjust on the edge of range.... Hudson Valley). Thats fine, but the problem is that if I plug it into the wall, it can still shut down from lack of juice. This is the single reason I pay 60 some odd dollars to MCI a month and dont even use half of my minutes. All I need is a phone (I dont friggin care what the hell bells and whistles it has.... um well nevermind) that will just STAY ON if I make an analog call longer than .2 ms.

Thanks to those who can anwer this.

the deadline on the rebate is Oct 11th or something like that. For pretty much any phone to keep it running while talking you need to go to radio shack and get Cat # 22-504 or Cat # 22-505 and a car charger. For the v710 it even keeps the screen on. This is what I did with all the phones I had this problem with. I am not an analog veteran, but this happened a lot to me with other digital phones and using a car charger outputs the higher current that the phone needs to stay alive. I think the V710 might have this problem, but I am not sure. Good luck

P.S. I have a similar power supply to the radio shack Cat # 22-504. so That is the only one I can confirm.
