Anyone have tips to battery conservation or an alternate battery. I took the phone off the charger an hour ago. I checked my voicemail, twitterberry, and posted here on the forums. My battery is only 75%. Compared to my old Treo, that's not good. Any suggestions?

The only app that stays open in the background is Twitterberry. I make sure to select 'close' when exiting every other application. I barely use the phone for phone calls; mainly email and twitter. I'm just concerned that when I need it, it'll he dead. Is it possible I have a bad battery?

Could be but I've had some strange experiences with my own battery, including draining over a workday then lasting longer then a weekend on one charge. For the most part its somewhere in between, but at a very acceptable level.
Before doing anything drastic I'd drain the thing and then charge it for a loong period of time (8-10hrs+) and then see what type of results you get.
My own experience it worked out ok. If it doesnt, enact the 'bad battery' contingency.
EDIT: If this isn't a new phone (ergo new battery) then my 2 cents are fairly useless.
I purchased a Seido cradle (BB9500AS) and it helped to increase my battery life tremendously. I assume this is due to the fact that when I put the phone in the cradle it turns the screen off. I use the phone quite a bit for text/email/music and i can go 2 days without a charge. Before i used the cradle it would get half a day.
I have the same problem. I have a curve I just bought in december. When I first bought it, it used to last over a day without a problem. Now it gets down to 20% by the end of they. All I really do with it is text message people. Im not sure what to do or why.
I took it out of the charger at 9:45am, it is now 12:50pm and its at 75%. I've sent 4 texts and no phone calls. Any suggestions?
