Batteries have a charge when you get them but you need to reset the memory of the battey. Take it down to zero then do a full recharge. Do this a few times then go to your normal pattern. I would charge every night. This isn't an iphone. You have a replaceable battery batteries can range from $10 to $30.

hold down the blackberry icon it will show you which applications are running make sure you're clicking on close when backing out of the ap and or prog.

This is false, the discharge method is only required for nickel batteries
Some apps like Twitterberry, Gmail, and Viigo and others may be constantly updating overnight and draining your battery.
If you hold the BB menu button it will bring up your open apps. The BB standard apps will always be open, but close everything else.
I don't have my tour yet, but with my curve, I easily go 2 days between charging with only light use, like checking email (not replying), a few texts and a few phone calls.
I can't believe that your phone will almost completely discharge doing nothing overnite. Either something is open and constantly updating, or you have a bad battery, or bad charging circuit.
BTW, I guess the battery indicator on the tour has bars unlike the curve which was solid? In your first post I had thought you meant your signal went from 4 bars to nothing overnite.
I have noticed when I leave my phone on my headboard at night around several remotes with batteries that it does zap the battery. I know its weird but if I leave it somewhere else, it is fine.
i cant believe some of you guys dont charge your BlackBerrys nightly. wow
how often do you charge yours? if i don't charge mine nightly, sometime before noon my phone will die the next day. i do have gmail, google messenger, and google maps open all the time though
(i am still using a curve though, my tour is on it's way)
