    so i am going on 48 hrs with my 8220, and so far i love it, and at all times i am running myspace, facebook, aim and yahoo...


    this morning i took my fone off the charger, fully charged, and made a 15 minute call. when i was done, i had lost almost a full bar. is think kind of battery drain normal, or is my battery defective?

    RIM did release an update to 1.3 but pulled it off the site, Its happening to me too with the FaceBook app, i deleted after I installed it and began using it with out any other apps open my battery would go from 100% to about 60% in 30 mins, it also caused the biggest memory leak.......


    spare battery around to test it?

    Might be the battery...I just made a 22 min call from a fully charged phone that had been sitting around for a few hours, and I still have 4 full bars. Wifi is off, and I'm running .174

    Does Facebook do some kind of polling that might chew up the btty?

    the battery seems to be working better today... i think it just needed to be charged last night. as for my os, i downloaded the .174 in the sticky, but after the update my phone says i am running .180..... not sure why...

    It's sounds like you have a battery issue. I have a high usage BB and I was on the phone for a full hour with only a bar drained. You might see about a replacement battery...
