I can vouch for Don's predicament. Even in areas with good coverage & Seidio's 3600mah extended battery, I can barely last a day of normal usage. Any use of the speakerphone is catastrophic. Having come from the 650 the 700p is a battery hog, and it appears that Verizon & Treo are well aware of it. At the store another customer was complaining about the same issue.
