I'm talking actual user-tested battery life, not specifications posted on RIM's website.

The battery life on my Bold has been rather "meh" lately and I'd have to say the 8800 takes the cake, followed by the old Curve, followed by the 8700. I'd say my Bold has been on par with the 8700 and its smallish battery.

You can get an extended battery for almost every BB model.

but they are ugly.

and to answer your question my 8330 does fine...i just have a charger on hand at all times.
i haven't had any other bb so i couldn't tell you which one is the best.

If you can connect to Wi-Fi as much as you can the battery life on the Bold
increases.

There are extended batteries that are the same size as the stock battery. Nice try though.

I currently have the 8330 and the 9530. The Curve has the best battery life of any BB i've used. I go days without charging it. Longest time has been about 1 week with moderate use. My Storm will last me 2 maybe 3 days tops with moderate use.

The Bold and Storm are not going to deliver exceptional battery life as they both have very modern processors and quite a few multimedia features, which will always result in decreased battery life if used heavily.
