Kind of missing my old phone!

I have had my Kyocera since Dec/08 and I am missing my old phone desperately.

Pros

The sound quality during conversations is very good. It takes reasonable pics. Light weight.

Cons

#1 At best, I get 24 hrs of battery time. Within that period, I will have spent 5 mins talk & 5 mins text. I replaced my old phone b/c I was recharging it every 2 days, but that exceeded the battery life on my new Kyocera. #2 Scheduled events have a very short reminder alarm time. Don't leave your phone unattended if you count on it to remind you of events/appts. #3 If the phone is on vibrate, you will miss it if it is not right against your body. It's not a very assertive vibration.

It's funny. This is my first phone that I actually purchased and the first hour, I dropped it while trying to flip it open but the phone was perfectly fine. I started fiddling around with sites on the internet to download some ringtones only to find that I don't have that option to save but only playback. Thought I would purchase a USB cord for it and I've been told by 3 different "experts" that I need to go online to ebay or the Kyocera site and purchase them there!? Anyway, the camera, I thought, worked great until i decided to flip it closed while in camera mode - the external screen showed a very dark gray picture with horizontal black lines everywhere. Exiting camera mode and turning it back on in internal screen mode was the only was it worked. This phone is the dog's bullocks!

Pros

mini speaker is loud, good make on keypad for smooth gliding, battery life excellent on standby/talk time

Cons

bad exposure with pics in the slightest dim-lit areas, bad battery life in when online with phone
