calm down....
rim took the same battery from the bold 9000 and stuck it in a better phone (9700) and made it last longer... check all those tests out some different sites did.
battery technologies are changing - maybe at a snails pace relative to other technologies but they def are evolving.
lets wait and see how many hours of non stop music this phone can play before passing judgments...
03-03-10 10:59 PM - OK but we can ALL agree that 1050 mah is LESS than 1500 or even 1380 on the storms, tours, and 8900. That's only 76% of the power (in the case of the 1380) and only 67% of the 1550 in the Bolds. Regardless of screen tech, they can save like 1% battery life, or better radios like on the new bold + the screen being smaller, and using the SAME processor, probably more efficient a year later, is SIGNIFICANTLY less. I want this device to succeed, but I will not be buying it if it has run-down specs or even if it's Bold-level specs and a low battery. I keep my BB for 2 reasons (maybe 3):
1) AWESOME service (always push, most of the time working
)
2) AWESOME battery life. I've had the iphone, omnia, iphone 3g (just look at my sig) all in the past few years, and they ALL have horrendous battery life. I can't stand them. I can't get even a HALF day with them! On the other hand, on GPRS/EDGE I get home with 70% on my bold, and about 15% on my Storm (which I just ordered the Seidio 2600 mah battery). Imagine using the storm with 25% less battery power!!! or even 20%!
bad for me.03-23-10 11:29 PM
