I hardly switch it off.
It's just like, charge, use, charge, use.
Is this healthy?

I never switch mine off. Same as you .. Use - Charge - Use. I don't think there is a problem for using it like that.

Been doing this for over 10 years, never has hurt a phone.
^ What he said. Don't worry about it
I don't think anyone hardly ever turns off their phone. A bold is not any different than any other mobile phone out there.

Mine is on all the time, and the only time I will turn off the mobile Network is when I'm in the Subway.
Mines on 24/7 until the battery dies :d

was thinking about the same thing. coz my bold is always on. good to know that its not a bad thing
I never turned my curve off and so far, haven't turned my bold off. I don't see a problem leaving it on.
On all the time here as well and never any issues.

I have to strongly disagree, as it is much better ;)
All kidding aside, no it won't hurt your bold to do that, and these newer batterioes work better if you don't let them fully discharge.
Haven't turned mine off since I got it last September.
The Bold has an off switch? News to me!

I was told by RIM Rep to turn off every morning for 3 min. and turn back on to be sure that I am connected to the nearest cell tower!!
Not even a battery pull. That's one **** of a phone. I love BB.

I only turn mine off if i'm avoiding phone calls or in a work meeting.
I use the timer.
It goes off at midnight on weekday and back on at 5:00am
Weekends - off at 2:00 and on at 8:00
Hey KB what's your current uptime? No app installs that required a reboot? I've always been
Curious about long up times and how the device behaves after so long w/o any down time

My phone is on till 12 Midnight, on back at 6 in the morning. Phone turns off at 10 back on at 8 on weekends. Those are the only times where I the phone is never touched, as I am either sleeping or reading. If necessary, turn it back on, look up a word, go back.
Battery pulls happen sometimes. Sometimes... whenever it felt like it O.o
Not necessary.
Mine is on 24/7, excluding the rare occasion where I'll be attempting to avoid a call from someone, and then it'll be turned off, or just set to silent.
I'll can usually do a battery pull once a week, as I don't add or remove apps that often.
Wow I've heard it all :rolleyes:
Essentially, when you turn it off you are really not turning it 'off', it goes into hibernation and uses very little energy. To turn it 'off' you have to take out the battery.
My berry is hardly ever off. I place it I bedside mode when I am sleeping.

I have been told by the att reps to turn it off for about 15 min each day (5:45 am to 6am for me) so that att can send updates. Sounding like I don't need to do this??
