C7 is such a piece of crap. Same crappy battery life with N8 but at least N8 has better camera, HDMI and anodized aluminium.

And now they are claiming Nokia T7-00 "Will Blow Your Mind"... I REALLY CANT WAIT...

Pfft, like iPhone/Blackberry/Android's phones are any better. Please get real shehhh.

have u ever try a Blackberry before? any model.. say the famous 9700... do u know how long the battery last with 24hours Push Mail on, 24Hours MSN + 24 hours real time FB notification.. forgot to mention real time BBM....

ah.. nevermind... C7 the best...

really not using b4 leh... how long it would last ah?? and what it's batt size??

1500mAH it last at least 2 days... and sorry.. it doesn't get hot...

Battery can really last very long due to it is BIS/BES. For internet blackberry is the best.

For me i combo my ipad 9.5 inch screen with hotlink HYC data plan 500MB so i get best of both worlds. Amazing battery life until now still have 70% and after JB hell lots of apps/ games

Thats for me.

then here i share my wife experience on her c7...

no data plan
no power saver mode
widget offline mode
daily wifi (home wifi) ~12 hours with very less active use (only mail retrieve in auto mode)
average ~1 hour angry bird everyday
daily normal sms/phone usage

refer above usage pattern... the c7 last her ~3days per full charge...

when u talk about this kind of usage.. the Bold II probably last u 5 days per charge cycle...

and most of the phone can last 2 days n above without data on it....

Thats all the BB can do for those not really into internet will skip it. Angry Bird Rio wek wek

Shoo shoo... Please dont quote me and replied nonsense...

I dont need your guidance

Bufung,

Can you tell me more about BES/BIS? Issit steroid? How does BB extend its battery life with BES/BIS?

Let me try to explain ... the server in Canada are so powerful that send power over the air to charge ur phone///




one of the reason why is BB do not need to keep pulling data...

But on my C7, I already set the Fb and emails to retrieve every 15minutes... and without even touching the phone at all from the time I on it @ 8am and by 12~1pm, left 30%... surely something is wrong... Even my other phone Legend did not suffer from such battery discharge rate. Only both N8 and C7. Quite a mystery from what the fans refer to as the most efficient and true mobility OS.

BIS using TRUE push technology. It is not like other OS which claims to have PUSH email but actually it still PULL the emails.

How does PUSH technology works? The RIM server in Canada will pull the emails for you. Once the email is pulled, it will then be pushed to your BBerry phone. Which means, your phone don't need waste its power to do the pulling job like Android, iPhone or Symbian. That is where the battery life is extended. Your phone only connects to internet when emails etc is pushed to your phone.

Also, when that happens, you will save your internet bandwidth as there is no unnecessary connection to internet to check for new emails.

That is the reason for C7 to have a bad battery life when you access email, internet etc.

behold the master of BB is here, haha. Anyway the battery life on the C7 is ok for me because i dont use it to retrieve email but i tend to get irritated when talking for a period of time the phone gets really warm. feel like it is gonna suddenly burn my ears. lol

i also facing same symptom, C7 very easy get very warm at camera part, the worse one i been encounter is the phone so HOT till touch screen is freeze!! need to force shut down by long pressing power button!! but freeze drama only happen once, any solution beside sent to NCC? BTW sent to NCC will cure the very HOT symptom?

Probably because those parts at the back of the phone are mainly made of stainless steel rather than plastic and you are feeling the heat because of that.

I also had the same problem with my Nokia E71 last time. I think that should be OK.

Probably you can off your 3G and then use your phone because I realise that the phone gets more hot when it is running on 3G mode.

Well i got one more weird problem, sometimes when typing landscape mode the then if rotate to potrait, the screen turn and then blackout. wont appear anything or better still, automatically exit the SMS app. Damn irritating man. To counter this have to type on 1 position only. Lol.

Well if it runs on normal Edge also it tends to get overheated quite quickly, the E71 i used i dont experience that much of a heatness through the phone though kinda like it. Nice to feel and can talk for quite long but the C7 really can feel the differences.

Owh. The E71's heat was already too much for me. If this is worse than E71, then it is dangerous. Hopefully it doesn't go "KABOOM" while your are on a call.
