    What software have you installed on your device. What do you have running in the background. Software like Facebook, etc continuously polls the server and will use a lot of power.

    Did you device always use this much power of just suddenly?

    Did it start right after installing some software?

    Try removing your third party software and see if that help.

    You can also try another battery and last I would try installing a new OS.

    I am betting that one of your "social networking" programs are eating up your battery. Perhaps you could set where they do not poll for messages so often.

    I thought FB and Twitter was pushed through BIS or something? Aren't they made by RIM?

    You have the option to set them to refresh. When in the app press the blackberry button and scroll down to options. You can change it from there.

    RIM wishes that Facebook and Twitter were theirs!
