I started another thread about this but try turning off your Location Data under location services. Before I did this I was losing like 25-40% overnight. (Granted this was right after I'd updated the OS, so maybe the battery needed to "train" or whatever.)
Whether it's the new OS having had time to train, or the Location Data being turned off, I'm definitely getting a full day's moderate use on one charge now.10-28-11 09:25 AMLike 0 - hehe this had turned into another battery thread...
OP: glad u found your way back.. this happened to me when i went to the ip4 last year after my BB was stolen.. thought i'd give it whirl .. i had the 1st gen iphone a few weeks after it came out.. bought it at AT&T and unlocked it and used it on Rogers.. the ip4 felt exactly like the ip1 (look, feel, functionality, just a bit faster)...
both times i came back to the BB...10-28-11 10:15 AMLike 0 -

- I've had my 9900 on T-Mobile for just three weeks , and slightly off topic, Tmo's coverage has improved incredibly (Central NJ and Ft. Lauderdale, FL). Anyhoo, my battery is slightly less hardy than my 9700, which was terrific in that department. But the device itself is wonderful (keyboard, etc.) I couldn't be happier. I also have an iphone 4 which has been improved since the update to ios 5, but still it can't compete with bb in terms of speed of communications. And it seems the battery is fading. Today it went from 85% to dead as a doornail. Pop it out and replace? I think not.10-28-11 02:15 PMLike 0
- I own both iphone 4s and Blackberry 9900 and in my case the battery on my 9900 is worse than the iPhone
My iPhone 4s can last for almost a day (a little bit worse than the iPhone 4) but my 9900 can only last for half a day.
Try this test if you don't believe me or just want to make sure.
Charge both phone till 100% , both phone must be on the same network. Then just unplugged the charger, leave it on side by side .
I did that
Unplugged the chargers @ 12am and in the morning when I woke up, my iPhone 4s battery is on 84% where my 9900 battery is 47%
Wtf, the phone is only on standby, I didn't even touch them at all.

Wow, the bold is still more expensive than an iphone 4s. I guess it is a better phone with superior hardware and software.10-28-11 06:31 PMLike 0 -
As far as battery, my iPhone has been off charger for 12 hours so far, and has been used for calls, texts, Facebook, banking and massive gps to navigate Toronto by foot today (playing tourist) and its down to 47%. I'm perfectly happy with that.Last edited by reeneebob; 10-28-11 at 06:48 PM.

Luckily for me i have the best of both worlds my 9900 as my daily workhorse and my ip4 as my multimedia device.10-28-11 06:45 PMLike 0

I don't type on my phone too much but I'm starting to think I want to try a physical keyboard since the more I try and type the more annoying it gets. I realize how important auto-correct can be with not being able to type properly, but even though it corrects typing, it can still be very annoying if it predicts the wrong thing10-29-11 01:36 AMLike 0 - I don't know about the iPhone 4 antennae but I drop calls all the time with my iPhone 4.

Sucks for you.
I never drop calls on my iPhone 4, I guess it boils down to carrier signal.reeneebob likes this.10-29-11 06:14 AMLike 1 -

- Well he changed to an Android first, SG2, so his iphone 4s replaced that really, not his blackberry. If I was Rim I wouldn't want a fickle customer like him lol.

- I haven't dropped a call period. I have TRIED while deliberately death gripping. Nope. Didn't happen. The only call I ever dropped was on my Galaxy S.10-30-11 02:40 AMLike 0

So I'll wait for the 9860, give that a go and see how I react to it.
Increasingly, it appears that I will return to my Atrix after all. Wait for the 9860 to test it out, just so I can honestly say I tried it. Then try out the Atrix 2.
I'll keep my 9930 as my daily driver, of course. I am primarily a BB user. Keep all my sensitive stuff on that. Use the increasingly likely Atrix or Atrix 2 as the entertainment device.10-30-11 05:42 AMLike 0
