New Phone and Service

Tue Apr 1 16:10:17 CDT 2008

Hi Juanita,

About how long are you talking on the phone before needing to charge it
every three days or so?  I called AT&T and they said it should get 4
hours talk time or 8 days standby time.  Does that sound about what you
are getting?  Are you satisfied with the phone over all? 

Do you listen to MP3s on it very much? I was hoping I could use it like
an IPOD that I never got!  Would you mind describing how you use your
phone?  Interested if you use the internet, Bluetooth head sets, word
processing, etc.   

BTW, when I asked AT&T about 3G usage, they said they could turn it off
on their end. 

Thanks,

Keith

I can't comment on 3G but my N75 needs to be charged every 3 days.
