.86 is destroying my battery. With the radio off and gps off and the thing in lock mode sitting on my desk, I went from 100% to 70% in 3 hours. I love this OS, I just can't make do with charging it every 6 hours.

Thats not good. That would die on me before I finished working for the day without using it in that case.

Weird. My battery has been holding up fine so far. Pulled it off the charger at about a little after 8. It's almost 3:30 now and I'm at 70%.

You could try some of the random shit that seems to fix a Blackberry:

1. Battery pull
2. Check your file free and make sure you're not down on memory
3. Clear out your message folders and call logs

I know when the phone is down on memory it does some funky ass shit. Maybe it's eating battery life too. It's a long shot, but shit, you're getting killed on battery life from somewhere.

I'm happy with the Symbian OS on my Nokia E71... havent had any issues with it at all... and I get atleast 10 hrs of battery life with wifi and bluetooth connected.... I use it for my 'personal' web surfing while i'm at work. without the wifi, 3g, and BT constantly going. i can go a few days without charging

Wiped the phone, reinstalled .86 OS, still killing the battery lost 10% in one hour just sitting on the desk in lock mode. Wiped the phone again, back to .75 OS. Hopefully battery life is back to normal, if not off to the Verizon store I go tomorrow to demand a new battery.

I am on version .75 and yet when I try to update the phone it says no updates available. Jesus this thread makes me feel like a complete technology retard.

.86 isn't an official release yet. There's a leak of it out on crackberry.com plus instructions on how to install it. It's pretty straight forward. .75 is the latest official release.

Even though the instructions are pretty easy, I wouldn't recommend it unless you feel capable on updating to a nonauthorized OS. This does void your warranty and insurance if you brick your phone.

Ahh in that case, I will stick to what I have. I just know that I would update it and then my phone just magically break in half with no insurance. *Sigh*
