OS 7 has been optimized even further for battery life. Even the new Bold 9900 has a smaller battery with about the same results as a larger battery on OS 6...

Are you serious? Did you see all the threads about how bad 9900 battery life is in comparison to OS 6 devices?
on the blackberry site it says 25 hrs of music playback and 5 hours of talktime and 6hrs of video . I dont think its good at all. If anyone who has used this phone for a while should kno about the battery life. i hope its good.
So far it seems to be fine, but I have Social set to update manually and since I got it it stays on the charger until noon (my circadian rhythm is screwed up)
From what I have read so far....reviews and all....battery of 9360 would last for a day or so. It can not be compared with 9700 or 9780....they are much better.....
mine lasts 1 to 2 days tops and i only use my blackberry for texting, maybe a couple of short calls and some bbm. dont go on web unless i have something to download. put screen brightness to 10% its still bright and always make sure theres no unneeded apps running in the background. I worked some midnight shifts recently and it lasted one whole night put it on silent while i slept and lasted the second midnight shift. Only use i had was texting and bbm during shift though.
I asked a couple of friends who also have bbs and one has the curve 3G and he said he has to charge his everyday and another person has one of the bolds and they also charge everyday so seems to be just a bb thing. im sure they are heavier users than me though.
8 hours minimal usuage and @ 25% ....ahhh!! I hope the update improves the battery life! The other day I almost got a full day of usuage - but I guess I must have had it on standby most of the day ... LOL
[QUOTE=grahamf;6657808]It's been off of the charger since 7:30a, had it plugged in for 10 min while I managed my music library, now 8:30 and the battery is 75% full.
I do believe that it will NEVER die on me, but I only had it for a week or so and I have JUST gotten into a pattern today (first day of college)[/QUOTE
The update from Digicel has improved the battery life! 7 hours and at 60% .... way better than before! Used google maps / 30 mins talk time / few texts and BBM's.
I just bought my Curve 9360, I use it for bbm, texting and actually haven't made any calls on it yet. I charged it overnight, and had a full charge at 6am when I woke up and turned it on. It's now almost 4:00 and has only 55% charge. That seems pretty short... anyone know why? My brightness is on 10, and my backlight dims after only 10 seconds.
