I'd check your 4350 battery as I've just finished using my 4350 for 8
straight hrs with bluetooth going. The whole time I was using my bluetooth
pharos gps to map me to places where I needed to make test E911 calls. Plus
while sitting on the side of the road I used my ipaq to surf theweb via my
bluetooth sprint phone. After all of this my battery reads 33%. The one
thing I love about the 4350 is it's battery life.
