I've had this thing for two weeks. It is in a state where there is power in the battery but it will not recharge.

I'm sure it is under warranty but I'd rather not give it up... I have tried the USB port, my charger and a friend's charger...

I'm trying to decide if its the battery or the phone. My question is:

Should this phone be able to turn on with no battery in it when it is plugged into the wall? (it does not)

I think that IF it should be able to turn on with out a battery, then I need to send the phone in. Otherwise, I might be able to replace or jumpstart the battery... Someone please advise.

NO, it should not turn on without a battery...even if plugged in.

Can you try a different battery for now? Do that first.

I asked around and no one here has an 8800... I'll try the store I guess...
