Overall, I can get through the day wothout any issues. And I use the updated BerryMeter application to keep me up to date with the battery.
If you are a moderate to heavy user, I'd take a charger to work.09-02-10 09:05 AMLike 0 - It absolutely depends on your specific and exact usage pattern - for me, it easily makes it throughout the day and battery life doesn't seem to be much worse than my 9000's was - if at all.
A lot of people who say the battery life is worse than their 9000 or 9700 or whatever are not factoring in the probable increased usage that is normal when you get a new device/gadget to play with.09-02-10 09:14 AMLike 0 - A typical day of use on my Torch is around 100 text messages a day, a few BBM sessions, liberal Facebook app usage, about 5-6 phone calls, and several web browsing sessions. At the end of the day, I usually still have around 70% battery life left, so I am definitely happy with the battery life. I don't think you have anything to worry about.09-02-10 09:16 AMLike 0

- i charge every other 2 days.
i think i have the "record" of 58 hours from 100% to the red battery icon..
and i won't get tired of posting it..
i have my screen brightness set to 30%
i don't play music nor video..
i do browse the web and check my emails 70 -100/day
i answer most of them with 3-4 paragraph length pieces.
believe it or not.. i do Call as well 10-15/day 3-4 minutes each..
when at work we're suppose to use landline anyway.09-02-10 09:27 AMLike 0 - i charge every other 2 days.

i took the phone from the charger at 5:30 AM Monday
then i put it back around 11 AM -12 Noon..Wednesday..
i think i need to stress this one out " i DO NOT use music or video"
since it's againts policy and i have an ipod for that.
so it's still close to 55-58 hours.
and i carry a blackberry curve as well ( work issued).
what time do you guys go to bed..
i do at 10 and wake up at 4.. so between that time.. even though the Torch is On.. it's on standby.09-02-10 09:41 AMLike 0 - that's your opinion..

I'm saying there is no way you get 58 hours on a single charge using the phone in the way you described.
So now you are saying you put it back on a charger?09-02-10 09:44 AMLike 0 - this is straight from the blackberry website.

I know you won't get 18 days on stand-by?
Maybe in a lab setting, but not in the "real" world.09-02-10 09:47 AMLike 0 -

but i think i need to spell it out for you
the TIME in between the charge...
from 100% to the red battery icon.. is 55-58 hours..
fully charged Monday 5:30ish AM
Monday night - NO Charging
Tuesday whole day - NO charging
Wednesday - back to the charger at 11:30 AM
if you have read my post from other thread..
the battery meter is fast from 100- 85% i think around 5 hours..
then it will hold at 70%
from 15% to the Red battery icon i was still able to pull roughly 3.5 hours.09-02-10 09:52 AMLike 0 - Mine depends on usage. This is my first BB, so I have no comparison to other models. But there were both BIS outages & tower issues where I live, for more than several days. During those times, battery life dwindled rapidly. I wasn't going to make a full day without recharging while I was at work. When I have full 3G bars & BIS, I've been at 58%, having multiple calls totalling several hours, 2 email accounts, more frequent than hourly social & RSS feeds & Shao's wallpaper changer, plus BeWeather. So, battery life can be exceptional, but any degradation of conditions seems to be a battery killer.09-02-10 09:53 AMLike 0

I talk about an hour a day on the phone, getting and making calls. so far, I've used about half of my battery power per day, meaning that I have 50% by bedtime (which is usually way after midnight). I charge every night, so this is not a problem. That was a big shock after the 9700 I had which could go two or three days without charging with the same use, but touchscreens and big displays do that to you. Witness my son's Droid X, which with the same use is drained by 2:00 each day with a larger battery!09-02-10 10:49 AMLike 0

If you're having these issues and you don't think you have anything doing the above, you might have a faulty battery and need to swap it out for a new one.09-02-10 11:00 AMLike 0 - + 1 on all those social feed updates like facebook, twitter, google talk, YM etc..
if you have them set to update.. let's say every 5 minutes..
then you're gonna be draining the battery really fast.
check if you have any other open apps ( holding down the BB button) and then close them.. you should have close to 5 open apps normally..
namely browser, messages, phone, BBM and home icon09-02-10 11:07 AMLike 0 - I refuse to bring back another phone but my battery life sucks to say the least. I took it off the charger at 8:30am and never touched it at all or made any phone calls, signal stayed strong, and wifi and bluetooth is off, and I only have 70% at 11am!!! So frustrating esp when I finally don't have nearly any wobble with bringing back 2 phones for various issues, and now I have the warm tinted screen(made in mexico) and horrible battery life! But I do love it other than those issues.
