Hi

Yes, the battery in the Samsung Haven will charge in 2 hours but it doesn't 
last too long.

If you drop it, it will fall apart and you are stuck looking for 3 parts 
instead of the entire phone.

Other than that, it works good and you can talk on it while it is plugged 
in.

So that is how it is. also you can order a bigger battery and then also you 
have to buy a different battery cover.  I will probably see if I can tape 
the phone and also try not to drop it so often.
Maybe Joe has the better idea of waiting for the  Apple I ehone. It sounds 
like Marcus brother Edward has a good service also.

Best,
Georgia
