My build is 10/20/08 and yes I have defects. And so does the phone
1) Battery life stinks. Doesn't matter how long I charge for or what I do, the battery dies fast. For example, yesterday I drained the battery then did a hard reset. next I charged the phone for 8 hours and it showed full charge at 10pm. Then i synced the phone, and turned off the screen about 10pm last night and put it on the nightstand. By 530am this morning the battery was drained again. And I didn't even use the phone at all. Just in standby it managed to completely drain itself.
I did notice that the screen was glowing even after I turned the screen off. This isn't noticeable in a lit room but in the dark, it very obviously was not shutting the screen off completely
2) My speaker sounds very tinny. Even at max volume it is not clear enough or loud enough to make sense of the sprint navigator voice. I constantly have to squint at the screen to catch the next turn.
I am seriously considering returning for the Treo 800. I'm still in my 30 day window. Any advice??
