I'm a new BB user as well! I'm so addicted, I carry it everywhere with me. It's ridiculous haha! I've heard ppl talk about the battery life being bad. At first mine wasn't great but I'm happy to say I charged mine Saturday afternoon and right now at 12:25 a.m. I still have two bars! Yesssss!
Bought my 8330 about a month ago and I just CAN'T quit playing with it. I'm here right now scrounging for new apps! I've had many, many phones, and this thing isn't a phone, it's part of the family. Have you named yours yet?
Just got a 8310 today. I think my work productivity went to about 0.1% ....just can't put it down and when I do someone messages me on BB messenger.....just upgrading it at the mo to the latest OS in the sticky
