Gist for BlackBerry v1.7 Released As They Share Their Growth After Acquisition - BerryReview

I downloaded this a month or two ago....and it drained by battery big time. I was on .267 then, which i think was doing a fair job with my bold. But after downloading gist, and even after uninstalling this app, .267 was never the same again. I don't know what this app did to my phone as my battery drain became miserable even after i unistalled it. My battery life improved only when i migrated to .342.

I might try again to load this and see what it does...

This is a great application that really helps know what your contacts are posting. I just loaded and have no battery problems at all and the info available for a given contact is vary useful.

I think its a great app, but since RIM acquired Gist quite sometime ago, i would prefer it if they would integrate it into OS 7 itself, like how the playbook works. I don't really wish to sign up for another service.
