Yes, I've read about this Article before but I can't remember where I got it. I just had a copy of it in my phone.

All good tips, but it is simply courtesy to give credit where credit is due.

I just found out that I got these tips from Adam Zeis of crackberry.com on one of his blogs a few months ago.

we need to admit that most of us bb users have a problem with the battery not lasting long even with doing all the 10 tips mentioned, most of the new smart phones battries last more than the bb ones , so i think manufacturer should invest more into batteries tech!

It still boils down to "how you use your phone" - I've tried using other platforms to deal with my daily tasks, it only lasted for roughly 6-8hours and I'm not talking about and old phone, these are HTC Sensation and Iphone4s. My Torch 9860 lasts up to 18 long hours.

maybe,but mine is 9780 and this is my second original battery in 10 months with no abnormal use !!

Short battery life, frequent hangings, I guess, are some typical BB problems which refuse to get solved no matter how many solutions one tries. For all the good things that BB gives, these are some taxes one needs to pay...
