This is my second G2x. The first one had issues and eventually wouldn't turn on at all once it was shut down. I turned it in, got another and since then I've had no serious issues. I got it the week after it was released too. It has only rebooted on it's own once. A game I was playing froze up on me when I was trying to talk on the device. I guess you can't do both at the same time. After initially charging the battery properly, (completely drained to a full charge), the battery lasts as long as one would expect it to. Some people don't understand that all media devices, ie. Android, iphone and touch screen devices use a lot of battery power naturally. I really hope they continue with this device! Iv'e been a BlackBerry fan ever since they came out on the market. I switched to Android just to get the G2x and I'm completely satisfied with it. I'm totally addicted to my G2x!!
