Query: Lousy battery life...I mean LOUSY!!!

DON'T BUY THIS PHONE!! Ignore all the other review claims about this phone providing decent battery life...they're absolutely not true! I purchased this phone about a year ago or so and initially the battery life was acceptable, and I could talk for over an hour with no problems. About 6 months ago the battery life plummeted. The reason is because the batteries are crummy nickel cadmiums that suffer from memory effect. Now I have less than 15 to 20 minutes of talk time. All the other features are well-done but avoid this phone unless you want to have every other call interrupted with a failing battery.
