Hey there guys, Blackberry Soon-to-Be Addict, new in here, hi everyone =)
Since this is a REAL Phone, I don't wanna damage it or do something that could compromise it's lifespan, so my question is the following:
Is it right to leave your phone on 24/7? I usually don't mind on a lolphone, but this is a whole new level, I never turn it off, I wanna know if any of you knows if it's damaging to the battery or the phone to never be turned off.
Mine hasn't been off since I got it. Don't even think you can properly turn the Bold off to begin with, it just goes into sleep. You'll be fine lol... Any phone will be fine for that matter as long as you charge it.
grab quickpull from the crackberry store, and use that for scheduled reboots, if you leave it on 24/7 it's not a problem even without rebooting unless your memory gets too low (<12mb). once it dips below 12mb you'll have random deletion of messages and logs etc.
I leave mine on 24/7 and do battery pulls/quickpull whenever I install something or notice my memory getting a bit low.

Plus you make sure to save it into draft such as email, note, others before pull battery off blackberry if you forgot to leave unfinished journal or email.
I never turn it off. I have a spare battery and charger and change the battery every morning. That takes care of the reboot issue and no cords in bed why I'm reeding ebooks.

My phone goes off, not silent but actually off, when I sleep. As
for battery pulls, keyboard or software resets I never do them.
Complete waste of time. My current uptime on my Pearl is 60+
days. For the Curve it is close to 100 days.
