Now my girlfriend has gone to a Galaxy S2 from a Bold 9700 there's no real need for me to keep my BBM. Will it improve my BB 9900's battery life if i uninstall it?

I'll have to use Whatsapp now to talk to her. Or, do I get a new Girlfriend....

The latter. I cant see bbm being a battery drainer if its just doing nothing in the background.

I'd keep it even if i wasn't going to use it.

I've uninstalled BBM and installed whatsapp instead. Since i've only 15-20 ppl on bbm, it was a smart idea to switch whatspapp with over 150 ppl in my phonebook.
If you are not going to use it much just uninstall bbm and switch whatsapp. +

I have whatsapp AND BBM. I could not live without BBM, don't understand why people don't just get some new friends....
LOL Just kidding.

I don't think BBM uses any battery if it is not being used. I never see it show up in the Device Analyzer under battery drains.

I would be more worried about whatsapp draining your battery. Enable device Analyzer and battery drain tracking and I bet whatsapp will show as a drain.

You might want to just revert to texting her or buy her a newer BlackBerry.

whatsapp does drain, i know that. She's ordered a galazy S2 so I'm not buying her sod all

Whatsapp will drain iur battery. I had to uninstall mine. Instead I just txt my non-bbm frens. Just get a new primary gf with blackberry and revert that gf as secondary since she uses android. Lol. Just kiddin!

There are some apps that need BBM to run. So I'd keep it.
