I had the Alltel TP and it had TERRIBLE battery life, especially in my home which had a poor cell signal usually 0 bars but my calls rarely got dropped. if Imade a few calls and used the device regularly I might get 1-3 hours.

I flashed the telus radio and now I get 2 bars consistenly and battery is easily double to triple now after almost 2 weeks of use. The phone seems not to have charging problems and doesn't get near as hot as it did under the alltel radio.
