My husband and I both purchased the Q after getting rid of our Sprint service (after they erased every single contact in my phone). At first we loved it, great for texting, easy to check email on the web enabled sites and the sound quality on the actual phone was good. Recently we noticed that the phone doesn't seem to hold a charge. At all. I unplug my phone as I leave for work, commute for about an hour then turn it off when I get to work. I turn it on when I get back in the car at the end of the day and often by the time I get home (an hour later) the battery is already down from three bars to two. We took the phones to the Verizon store (as this is a new occurance so we thought maybe something was wrong with the phone) and the tech support said that battery life is a problem with all of the Q's and the only options were to buy the extended batter and to kill all of the programs that are running on occasion after you text or email. (and to only keep the phone plugged in only until it's charged. then unplug it until it needs to be recharged. who can do this?) My husband opted for the extended battery and is still having problems. If I had it to do all over again I would not purchase the Q. Since I don't use the PDA capabilities fo the phone I would have been perfectly fine with one of the flip phones that has both the number pad and the keyboard.
