That's AWFUL! Why make this phone so thin? Jam a huge battery in it, make it last for days. That's the point for a phone without a touchscreen and a larger screen anyways, productivity!
That is poor battery life for ANY phone without a large touchscreen. Considering all of the other areas in which BlackBerry devices are far behind the competition I cannot think of a reason for someone to consider the 9790.
i wonder what os bundle they were using. perhaps an old one?
Either way, i'm not sure it maps well to actual usage numbers. I know someone with an Galaxy S2 that doesn't even get 50% of the values posted on gsmarena.
