    Mine depends on what doing. I shut the indicator lights off except low battery this way I know when its time to charge. When using data it drains the most the more you use the faster it drains. Keep a charger at home in car and at work anmd extra house charger in car so if somewhere and hits 10% charge it I've killed it in as little as 2 hours streaming radio through moodio in one day at work it used 40mb and had to charge twice. But in standby while in holster with plenty of singal I've had it last 3 days. Data drains It the fastest In my experiences.

    My first Berry was a 8310, which lasted a full 3 days with maybe 10 - 15 .. 3 minute calls per day, this is my third BB since i had the 8310, i however have been experiencing shorter battery life with this 8900 i have now....3 just as i did with the previous two since selling the 8210.
    Based on responses posted before on this forum, it would seem that the average life of a battery for the curve 8900 with a little more that average daily use is approximately 24HRS..... Question is, is there a battery we can get with an extended life that will work with our phones.?

    I just got my 8330 about two weeks ago, by the third day I had it had drained the whole thing from 100% in the morning too red bar by the time I got home. My GF has an 8310 and hers can go for 3 days and we do about the same usage, a lot of texting, bbm, and browsing. Is the 8330 have less of a battery life then the 8310 or should I might try and go back to verizon to see if I have a bad battery or something?

    I make a habit of charging it every night. I also have two charging docks, one for home and one for work. So when I'm not slacking off and playing on the damn thing, it's in the charging dock. I've found that if I don't charge it during the day, between about 6:30am and 4pm, I'll get down to about 60%...

    I drop mine in the charger whenever I can but I have not seen it drop past 1/2 battery with a full day of moderate use and no charging.

    I fully charge my 8310 nightly. Although, I can go 2 to 3 days until the battery is drained. And I use my phone heavily with email and texts.

    I sync my curve twice a day ... when I get to work and then when I leave. That takes care of the charge during the week. On weekends, I charge it at least once.

    Mine depends on how much I'm using it, if I'm updating my calendar alot or on BBM, web browsing then I end up charging every other day or so. Otherwise I've gone 3-4 days before charging. My husbands 8310 lasts usually about 5 days or so but he doesn't message and web browse as much as I do.

    Why doesn't it hold charge for 14 days like RIM says it does?

    I have to charge it at the least once a day...most of the time I throw it on the charger twice a day. I need to buy a new battery though...its over a year old and won't hold a charge.

    just bought a new 1100mah battery from ebay and i still have to charge it every other day. i have no apps running at all, amost no web browsing. mostly just sms and messenger with a few emails

    does the pouch with auto standby really help the battery levels?? i want to get one to help with the battery usage but dont want it due to the fact it makes it so bulky
