"Be Sure to Carry a Charger with You!"
Pros: Good Looking, Call Quality, Multimedia, Easy GUI
Cons: Horrible Battery Life, Bad Camera Quality, PTT Button
Summary: Picked this phone up at the local AT&T store after my v551 died. For the $49.99 price (2 year contract), it seemed the best option. It is a full featured phone that seems competitive with the Razor V3xx. Unfortunately, the battery on this phone lasts exactly ONE (1) day. I seriously only make 3 phone calls (20min/each) and this is ready for charging. This is unacceptable given the phone is brand new (3 days old). I doubt this phone is a lemon given all of the other reviewers mentioning the same thing. I can't imagine using any other of the features that might drain the battery even more. Another annoying feature is the the PTT (push to talk) button on the side. Every time you 'by mistake' hit it, it asks you if you want to initialize the PTT. There is no option to turn this off. Needless to say, this phone is going to be returned to the AT&T store...I appreciate the 30 day return policy, but they should pull phones that are known to have problems..so that the consumer doesn't have to find it out for themself.

You can turn the PTT off. What you have to do is enter the PTT function, and choose to deactivate the feature. I believe it sends a deactivation signal to AT&T.
Then, if you don't want the phone asking if you want to start the PTT feature if you accidentally press the side button while the phone is folded, simply go into your phone settings and turn on the automatic keyguard. That locks the keys even with the phone folded closed and also prevents any function of the side keys. Unfold the phone and the keyguard automatically unlocks.
