    On the Tour, how does the battery handle having the Bluetooth enabled always? Just curious if this is anyone's default setting.

    Always on for me. Use it in my truck constantly. I can make it through the day easily, but I'm working and not browsing the web on it all day.

    I have it constantly on. As long as there is no data transfer going on though BT, the battery drain is minimal. Plus having DM sync contacts/calendar to the BB through BT is wonderful.

    How much of your battery level do you think it drains just by keeping it on and not using it per battery cycle?

    I leave mine enabled all the time. I use the phone for email and as a phone. I get 2 full days of use from fully charged to dead.

    Same here, mine is always enabled, many phone calls a day,emails,browsing, and get 2 full days out of this thing. I wonder what causes some have so many problems with battery life.I think my Tour has the best battery life out of all phones ive used.

    I have mine enabled all of the time as well and I haven't noticed any significant battery drain. Syncing through BT is awesome. I love not having the clutter of a USB cable.

    Always have my bluetooth and GPS location on. Never turn either off. I easily make it through an entire day (6AM-11PM) with plenty of juice to spare.

    I only turn my BT off when I am traveling and won't be using it for a few days.

    Good to hear the Bluetooth doesn't train when it's on but not active. I'll turn it on and see if it affects anything.
