Truf, mine will say three bars for something like 2 days, then 2 bars for about 6 hours and one bar for a couple hours. Would be much better if it were more linear :/

one of the more compelling reasons to rock a smart phone at work.

every night, fo sho... never know what'll happen. Just found out recently that putting the BB's into standby kills apps running and it saves a TON of battery.

got a car charger too if I need it.

Every 2-3 days. Battery is still pretty good. I only plug it in if it's almost empty.

my phone is inconsistent with its battery meter so i charge it every day. sometimes it will go for a few days with minimal talk time. sometimes it will die within a few hours or zero talk time. wtf.

i think it depends on the reception of where i'm at. if theres a weak signal and it has to hunt for one constantly it eats up battery power

i don't have a smart phone so most of the time it'll last through the day and then some. i dont like talking on the phone for long and that's what kills the battery most on my phone. and i charge it every night

I have a charger at home and at work so Im never too concerned about it - so right now its every time I have one bar remaining. But I make sure to take the work charger with me on Fridays so I can have one in my car.
