motorola e815
I finally end the most horrable contract with nextel 2 weeks ago and went with verizon and got a nice deal 2 motorola E815 with bluetooth heads sets for 90 bucks with a 50 mail in rebate sounds good right wrong. This is the biggest piece of **** phone ever.
1 the phone doesnt stay in belt clip at all just falls out when walking .
2 dents and scratches easy, from just placing it in cup holder in the truck dent and scratched the **** of the screen now I could see if I threw it in there but just setting it in there come on.
3. Battery life sucks. Even when its set on battery saver it still goes dead by the time I leave work.
4. The bluetooth were to start on that one. 1 half the time the phone cant find the headset. 2 the phone will loose signal with it in the middle of a conversion hanging up the call. 3 with the bluetooth mode turn on in the phone better have a charger near by.
5. no auto key pad lock. Have to manual locks the keys. If I dont the **** thing will make phone calls using the voice command.
6. The camera or lack of it because it doesnt take a picture to save itself. I know camera phones dont take the best pics. but mine you cant even see wtf you just took a pic of.
all in all I love the service but I hate the phone. I am going to try and get a different on monday after work.

I've had that phone for over a year now...
The only scratches mine has are from dropping in the parking lot.
I dont like how the screen gets greasy (I dont put anything on my hair and wash daily)
The battery life is about 6 days without much calling.
or 2-3 days with several hours of talking.
Not sure if you just got a bum one or what.. but this phone is MUCH
better than any of my nokia's ever were.

I read great things about the e815 also. The only complaints I ever saw were that Verizon disabled/crippled the bluetooth functionality of the phone so they could make you use their network functions to transfer your pictures and such. Pissed me off enough to where I won't buy verizon because they intentionally hinder phones so they can make money. I was sold on the phone, not the service. See if you can't get it fixed under warranty.

i've had a e815 for almost a year now, i use it quite often and it gets beat up a fair amount at work. I have a cover on it and it definately helps but it has minimal scratches, takes pictures better than i expected, and the battery life is still just as good as the day i bought it. I charge it about twice a week. I'm not into the whole bluetooth thing so I can't help ya there. sounds like you got a lemon though.

well I am stuck with this phone for now because the guy sold it to me wasnt working today and other sales person wouldnt do anything bout it. but we will see if I cant get atleast a new one some time this week or a different one.
As for the bluetooth its quite nice for me seening as I work really close to the city and you have to have hands free or pay a heavty fee and it being wireless is less crap to get caught in the seat belt.

i bet its your particular fone. if you search google, ull see that the E815 is a hit an miss type deal. those who miss get a great phone, those who hit get a crappy phone that messes up alot/ poor workman ship. i have a phone thats right on that line. heres the low down with my e815.
charging it turned into a real chore. i would plug it in, and it would "reboot" until it was completely dead and then wouldnt charge at all. I managed to get a ahold of a desktop charger, and bout an extended use battery on ebay, and now all those problems went away. works quite well. as soon as the battery gets low, swap batteries, and i have a full charge in under a minute. given its a lil more of a "hassle" but my charges last a good 3-4 days on each battery.
now, this hacking bit, i spent 4 days trying to get the phone to sync with my puter., HA! well i tried on my dads computer once and it synced instantly, no prob, you download the files off the phone, change like 3 characters, roload the files back onto the phone and you now have full blue tooth capability. i love it. while the phone does take crappy pics in general, a few pics do turn out better that id expect. and with full blue tooth capabilities, i can take all the pics i want, and it takes like 2 minutes to transfer4 them to my pc, free of charge.
oh and i love how its big and heavy, feels like a phone, not like a toy like every other itty bitty cellphone out there.
as far as calling with the side buttons, look in ur manual, u can disable that, i know, i did it.
