Audiovox 8900 Power Source when Plugged in

Hi,

When the 8900 is plugged in, does it use outlet or battery power to place a call?

(You would think this is a moot point, but you'd be surprised: My Motorola i1000+ used outlet power (therefore NOT draining the battery when plugged in), but my Kyocera 2235 uses the battery any time a call is made.)

Any ideas? Those with the 8900 can you test this out?

Thank you so much,
rg.

What's a good way to test it out? Besides leave it plugged in and talk for hours?

I had it plugged in, and when I removed the battery, I can't even turn it on or make a call. So, I guess it does depends on the battery to be there.

Or, whenever you batter dies (talk till it turns off), plug it in and try to make a call.

Just by using it, sooner or later you get a feeling about it.

Thanks,
rg.

Just to let you guys know, when plugged in, the phone uses outlet power. I drained my battery tonight and came home and plugged it in. Immediately, I checked my voice mail and made a 10 minute phone call. Not only did the outlet power the phone but it CHARGED it as well! This phone charges INCREDIBLY FAST! This phone ROCKS! I'm very happy with it.

Hmm, I've heard it both ways...very confusing.
