Some problems (possibly) with my new curve
Hey. Just got an 8330, and I am having some issues that I am not sure are normal, or problems with my blackberry.
First of all, it seems to lose its charge faster than I expected. I figured that the battery life would not be terribly long on the blackberry, but I tested it a bit today, and after 3.5 hours of minimal use (a couple texts, and a few received e-mails), it was down to 75% (from 100%). I had the backlight set to 100 at the time, so that may have contributed. Dropped it to 50%, and am recharging it now to test again, but it still seems to lose charge very quickly (and doesn't seem to charge fast enough either).
Secondly, the blackberry occasionally gets stuck loading (sand timer) something minor (like going from full menu to my L theme main screen) for a long time. Earlier, when I went to change to normal profile after getting out of class, it did the sand timer for about 30 seconds before I was able to get back to the main screen. Is this normal? I had no background apps running at the time.
I am considering going back to verizon tomorrow morning to have it looked at...I fear that they would give me a refurb if there are problems, and I really do not want a refurbished phone after having my new one for 3 days.
Thanks very much
