Motorola Q
is the battery REALLY that bad??
Can someone tell me just how bad the battery life is on this??? How much talk time? I saw a video review that said it has 5 plus hours of talk time!! HELP! I Need to get mine tomorrow by morning! I'm torn between the KRZR and the Q.

If you are concerned about battery life, you can purchase an extended life battery for around $20 from Verizon which I have heard extends the talk time significantly.

One tip someone posted that seemed to help, was to turn of incoming IR beams. This has prolonged my batt. life

Aslo when you charge the phone it last longer if you turn it off while charging.

The Q def. doesn't have GREAT battery life but it's not that big of a deal for me b/c it's usually no problem for me to charge it frequently. With a wall charger at work and at home along with a car charger, I'm usually topped off and running out of juice has never been an issue. I'm not one of those people who think a cell phone is JUST TERRIBLE if you have to charge it more than twice a week.
I do travel frequently so I did purchase the extended battery. I keep it charged and in my computer bag just in case I do run out of juice w/ the standard battery.

I have the beam set to off. My bluetooth comes on when I open the boom so that means that the bluetooth is automatically off and I don't have to go into any settings on the phone, correct?
Bighill, I sent a private message with some questions yesterday but didn't hear back.

Bluetooth,
email syncs,
IR connections,
Keeping the screen lit
will all drain your battery.
However.
the BT is still on if you dont see an icon on the screen, it must remain activated so it can always look for a BT device for when you flip open your BT headset.
You can disabled BT but wouldnt if your use a BT headset user.
Like others mentioned,
disabling IR, to help a little, maybe decreasing the time before the screen blanks.
Ultimately getting an extended battery will solve these issues, and the Q is only a tiny bit thicker, but overall still small, even with that bigger battery.
The standard battery is really the cheapest verizon wanted to do legally and say they gave you a battery. Verizon always cheaps out on what they...
