      If you think that phone had a long battery life, then you should have seen the Motorola C139 that came before the Razar series, I had one as my first phone, and that little puck could go for almost a week on no charge with minimal usage.

Except for the interface lag it was brilliant and a huge step up from the Nokia 8110 I had before it ( matrix phone for those who dont know). I paid somwhere in the AU$800 mark (cant remember exactly) and was really bummed when they were closing out at AU$129.
