Motorola W385 Cell Phone Review - Battery Life

Call Time (3.26)
Call time was a meager 2 hours, 43 minutes. This isn't very good, but it appears to be somewhat appropriate for the phone's class. The W385 performed about as well as the Razr V3m, though the more expensive devices all boasted better times. You'll need to charge the phone every day or two.

Cell Phone Talk Time Score
Motorola W385 2 hours, 43 minutes

Motorola Krzr K1m 3 hours, 27 minutes
4.14
Motorola Razr V3m 2 hours, 41 minutes
3.22
Samsung Juke 3 hours, 30 minutes
4.20
LG Chocolate VX8550 4 hours, 43 minutes
5.66
Samsung Blast 4 hours, 3 minutes
4.86

Music Playback (0.0)
Since the W385 can't play back music, it gets a zero here.

Web Browsing (unscored)
We were unable to test browsing time because our review phone had internet connectivity disabled. We will update this score as soon as we get in an appropriately-abled review phone.

Idle Time unscored
We don't test idle time because it would take months to get a reliable data set. Verizon claims the phone can idle for 440 hours, but we think this is far too high. With extremely minimal use we don't think it would last more than a week without needing a charge; if you weren't to use it at all you might be able to squeeze a few more days out of it, but not another week and a half. .
