Motorola Buzz (ic502) User Reviews

Bought an ic502 to replace my old i305. Has a color display, pretty compared to the monochrome one on the i305, but no more effective.
As noted by other posters here, the Sprint PCS phone service does seem superior in comparison to Nextel. Walkie-talkie service was and is fine - no noticeable difference in performance between old and new phone. One quirk I HAVE found with the ic502 is that if one wears it too close to another tool or holster on your belt - there is a very good chance that you will wind up banging the PTT (push-to-talk) key against that other item and unintentionally radioing the last person you spoke with ! (This was not a problem with the i305, it had a keypad lock that was very effective in preventing this from happening. This feature is missing on the ic502. I can only presume that this is because the ic502 is a clamshell-style phone.
Talk time as advertised is a little optimistic . I find that I get about 10 hours of moderate use out of the standard battery before the phone begins to whine about the battery's state of charge. I'm considering upgrading to the extended-use battery; but that's $30 bucks for the battery, plus having to buy a new battery door ($11 more), since the battery door for use with the standard battery of course doesn't fit. Nearly $45 just to get the same talk time my old i305 offered. (sigh).
Bottom line? If I had it to do over, knowing what I know now. I wouldn't have.
