" ... Lasted about 3 months till it started having major charging issues. ... "
" ... After about 6 months of ownership, it began power cycling (while I was in the airport leaving on vacation) and never turned back on. ... 6 months later and the replacement just started doing the same thing! ... neither phone had any damage, no outside cause to break down like this, they just started doing this on their own both times. ... But now that it's just a couple weeks past the year warranty for the first phone, they will not fix it without charging me almost the full price of the original. ... Do not buy this phone, the hardware has a fatal flaw!! ... "

" ... Lasted about 3 months till it started having major charging issues. ... have to hold it in a certain way (charging port is loose) to get it to charge. ... sometimes it will lose charge very quickly if plugged in and not charging. ... "
