    I called VZW and talked to a tech today, and she pressed the issue that if you used your phone when you purchased it or charged it for a few moments without actually charging it fully, it leaves your phone with a memory of half charging which causes the phone to take extremely long to charge or having to charge your phone multiple times a day. Also, to save your battery I suggest you put it on standby in between usage.

    Batteries within the blackberry has a 1 year warranty, so you could go to a VZW to request a new battery and try turning your phone off and charging the phone fully before using it.

    Guess I'll see how far this will take us!

    Lithium ion batteries to not create a memory. Also, try fully discharging and recharging once to calibrate the phone + battery. Was what we had to do with the storm after pretty much every leak >.>.
