that was cool back in the 80's.

JD, How in God's name did you pull THAT off???? I've had my Startac Timeport for over 2 years now, and granted it doesn't look so sexy any more as the paint is chipping from being dropped, but it still works just as good as day 1. I keep looking for a new phone, but I don't want a full flip next time. I'd rather have a phone that just has a flip over the keys b/c all the "new" flip phones are just so... so... I don't like them AT ALL. I'm picky about my cell.

The Motorola startac is only good for about 50,000 minutes before it gives up. I have been through 6 or eight in the last two 1/2 years. Also the antenna design on them is stupid as hell they break every two weeks.

LG battery lives SUCK. I'm picky, like I said. But as I already said, I've had my Timeport since April of 2k1 I think and it rarely causes me any trouble. Still have my original antenna (although slightly ascue b/c of my stupidity) and I haven't turned it in for any sort of service yet.

First of all the LG battery is the same capacity as the 8767 that you use. If that is not enough than you get the extended battery which doubles the capacity. Motorola does not offer a larger battery than the one that comes with it.

I used to be a hard core motorola fan, but when you deal with phones as much as I do you tend to find some quirks in all of them.
