Kyocera DuraXV Extreme sin cámara

Bought to replace my 3G version of same phone. Was amazed by the advertised 18 day standby and 40+ hours of talk time. My old phone would do 3 days standby and 10-11 hours of talk time. I'm happy to report that my new phone goes 12-18 hours between charges (most days, unless a 4G update cuts that to an hour) and up to 4 hours of talk time, and the voice quality is much better, at least from what I hear. The people I call can frequently understand me, and the noise cancelling works very well unless I'm driving, outside or in a crowded place. Unlike the previous version, New text messages alert via audio immediately, and show up in your text list shortly after you open the phone to look at them. They also helpfully appear in whatever thread of messages you were using instead of jumping up at the top. This means people can text you unobtrusively, and you get to see the very last thing they texted instead of having to go into that thread to see what they wrote. It's really awesome, because I can now avoid reading long texts for up to a couple days. It really cuts down on information overload and is much better than the old "in your face" notifications. The buttons are all much smaller, more sensitive and very compact, making it easy to instantly cancel out of and close any menu item as often as you like. Also, I especially like the feature where the flashlight comes on when answering calls, so you know who lights up your life. The other cool thing is that when you open it to look at the clock, it will show you the last time you opened the phone for about 15 seconds before updating to the new time. This lets you know if anyone else has opened your phone. I never have to worry about accidentally calling someone who texts me, as that option and the other annoying option to add a caller to a contact directly from a call have been removed. I used to accidentally do this all the time, and now I can do it when I'm not on a call, which is probably much safer. Also, the speakerphone volume is much improved, to the point where I never have to worry about it being too loud or blaring over the sound of the engine. I would recommend this phone to anyone who wants all the features and usability of a smart phone in a flip phone case.

Sound quality is good. Much better than any flip phone I had before. But the battery needs to be recharged in 3 days when just on standby. Size seems to be quite larger than needs to be also.
