Yes it heats up quickly and the battery life on the V950 is very poor. I have been batteling sprint trying to get another device other than the V950 and no luck, so far they have had to replace two and I am going on my 3rd in 6 months. sure I can buy a an extended battery for 65$ more dollars but why I paid 419.00 for the phone isn;t that enough. Also the charger will not charge my phone and guess what .. that is not covered under warranty nor my insurance so I had to buy another charger, now I find it is the phone itself. I would not recommend this phone to a new user, to many problems and not enough solutions.

My company switched to the v950 and everyday I have to stop myself from smashing it to pieces or running it over. It is truly a piece of crap. I miss my nextel that had real direct connect.

I’M ON MY SECOND ONE AND ITS ALSO DEFECTIVE LOCKS-UP WHILE DELETING TEXTS AND THE ONLY WAY TO CLEAR IT IS TO TAKE THE BATTERY OUT. THE FIRST ONE ONLY HALF THE FUNCTIONS WORKED. AND THE BATTERY WAS ONLY GOOD FOR 40 MNUTES.

i just bought a 950 today.. its a nice phone. it was an upgrade from my ic 902..

however has anyone experienced difficulty with the contacts list.. on my 902 i could just type (example) “h” and then type “o” and “home” would come up.. now with my new 950, if i type “h” and then “o”, then everything in my contacts list that has an “h” and/or an “o” appears.. very very frustrating.. and ive looked thru every setting to try to change ai…. anyone have this problem?? and has anyone found a solution?? please help!!

Why this phone’s battery run out so quick? Can you tell me what reason.

I bought this phone 2 weeks ago. Since then Sprint has tried replacing it 3 times. The battery does not hold a charge. We’ve tried 3 different batteries (one of them the extended battery which is suppose to give you 2 hours more continuous talk time) and 3 different phones and within four hours it beeps at me that it’s dying. I may make 1 short phone call on it and that’s it. Looks like I’ll have to find another phone. Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

I have the same piece of crap phone. On my 3rd one and Sprint nor Motorola will do anything about it but “be happy to replace it with another one”. I agree with the description; Las Vegas with no electricity!

Video was such a waste of time that I felt the need to vent by spending more waste time in responding.

Question: Does this phone have direct connect call waiting? The IC902 allows you to see if someone is calling via direct connect while on a voice call. It isn’t in the manual?? Also does it speak the name/# of incoming callers?? my favorite feature of the 880!!

Thanks,
Tom

What is the menu speed like on this phone? I thought it looked great, I wear construction boots all day. Then you said it was basically a RAZR in a cozy shell. Yikes. I hate my RAZR, it has possibly the slowest menu response time of any phone I’ve ever owned and its time to upgrade. Does this phone have nearly instant menu response even with the Sprint firmware in it?

Wow. That one’s going right above my monitor. I might even buy a frame for it.

Enough, DA! Your in-depth reviews and coherent sentence formation while at the same time attending to grammar and spelling has been exceeding this site’s standards for quite some time. Quite frankly, there’s a level here that needs to be maintained and you, my friend, are nowhere near it. Maybe you think that raising the bar will cause your peers to take notice and return this site to what it once was*. Think again, you’re on your way out, bud, out and up. And if you don’t like it I suggest you fall in line like the rest and get back to posting youtube vids, legos, and stuff G posted yesterday and it better sound like it was written by a 12 year old, too, with fewer than 50 words. Now slacken off, I don’t want to have to have this discussion again!

I’m happy to report that the interface speed has, indeed, improved even though Motorola’s only had four short years between the V551 and the V950. The V950 also has more than the V551’s five megabytes of storage and — AND! — the external screen on the V950 is in glorious color.
