What Blackberry Phone Has The Longest Battery-life? by davolog(m): 12:55pm On Sep 13, 2011
One thing that is synonymous with BB users is BB chargers. From lobbies to classrooms and even churches, you will find them looking for sockets frantically because their BB device is about to go off. Will love to the aggregate the views of you all on the BB device (bold1, bold 2, Torch, Curve, Javelin, Storm et al) with the most durable battery life. Maybe we can all arrive at a preferred BB device that can save us from the embarrassment called PHCN. loool

It is a known fact that Blackberry's batteries are not as long lasting as the Nokia's or Sony Ericsson's. The probable solution if you drive, is to invest in an in- car charging power outlet or an extra battery.

Your reason(s). Pls dont tell me battery life cos my Nokia N8 does not last me a full day without charge.

[b]nice opinions. From my own point of view and reviews concerning blackberry phones, having a spare battery could be an option but doesnt solved the problem.
I believe you all one way or the other have used or currently using emails on ur nokia also.
The point is receiving emails, groups msg notification sounds,bbm msgs sounds and continuous usage of typing drains the battery.
So having a spare battery doesnt mean both cant drain in less than 6 hours without power supply.
Suggestions: if you can turn off the sound,leave thr group u have no interests in,reduce brightness of d fone,close apps u r not using,turn off the vibration of ur fone,giving the battery a full charge by avoiding partial charge,reduce the volume of the warning tones,turn of wifi if not in use,keep the fone away from heat and magnetic objects,avoid overcharging the ba3,always use the original charger for charging the fone,avoid restarting the fone too often as it can hamper the ba2 life too,turn off bluetooth if not in use,always run on 2G/3G rather than 3G only.
I believe you will enjoy the ba3 life of ur blackberry[/b]

The blackberry phone is always connected to the internet, that is the major reason the batteries don't last. Try to take note, when you have no subscription your battery lasts for longer because then you have no reason to keep its screen light on for prolonged period and the internet is also not draining on its battery.
Re: What Blackberry Phone Has The Longest Battery-life? by cutesy(f): 1:49pm On Sep 14, 2011
Apparently I think it is a deliberate ploy by RIM to up sales of batteries, chargers and eventually phones. I don't think you're ever gonna find a long lasting battery solution to a blackberry phone, no sirreee!!! I currently use 9700, 9800 and am hoping to a 9990 ( I dunno why ) but even then something in me still thinks blackberries are seriously overrated. undecided

i disagree with your submission above, compared to other smart phones wit the same data and apps capability as the blackberry, the BB has actually been benchmarked to have the best battery time per charge

get yourself an iphone, android or windows os phone and compare

Fanx, just wat i was about to say. Now let me add, Blackberry phones like many other smart phones have not-so-long battery life as a result of their MANY functions. A Nokia 3310 battery can last you 4 days for all i care, that's cause its only used to make/receive calls and messages (almost nothing else). undecided

A nokia N900 on the other hand does a hundred functions and runs many applications almost like a PC. Now that's where the Blackberry comes in------Its the most commonly used and runs not only applications but also endless messages via bbm (PINGS),emails,calls,sms,music,twitter,facebook and so on, haba,how then do you expect the battery to last that long. angry angry angry

Mind you, you hardly see people 'marrying' their Nokia smart phones the way they do the Blackberry. This is a phone where you PING on the go >>> bus stop,bus,market,room,parlor,office,canteen,cinemas,shopping mall, bla bla bla, give the phone a rest and you'll see a difference in the battery life (I mean,just treat it like a nokia and stop incessant PINGING for a day). smiley smiley smiley

By the way, Bold 1 (9000) battery aint good compared to the newer ones like Curve 3 3G,Bold 9650,9700,9780 and Torch 9800. And if you're a heavey-user like me, get an extra battery. I use 3 batteries on the go, #SHIKENA. grin grin grin

Very true but BB is a serious business tool and when it comes to communication, android and iphone are for kids except of course your have skype. BB is the business phone for the globe trotter who needs to be in touch constantly with family and associates. I've used all and BB still appeal the most especially as regards communication.

Re: What Blackberry Phone Has The Longest Battery-life? by omega25red(m): 2:12pm On Sep 14, 2011
i have a Blackberry Tour 9630 and it has a reasonable battery life which depends on what application im running and if i turn it off when im done.

your battery would run dry if you have multiple applications running and if you dont close them.

When it comes to Communication, I may agree with you that the BB tops but Androids and iPhone for kids?  shocked shocked Are you sure you are not patronizing these china phones sold by aba boys? grin Do you know how many apps u can run on ur Iphone? To me The only advantage the BB has over other smartphones is the bbm.
