BlackBerry 9000RIM officials have gone on the record to say that they’re totally satisfied with the battery life of the upcoming BlackBerry 9000. There were earlier reports from testers that you couldn’t get more than two hours of web browsing over Wi-Fi with it, but a RIM spokesperson explains that ” ‘power management protocols’ (the software that helps control what parts of the BlackBerry get powered) are typically disabled on prototype devices in order to simplify the software debugging process”. The latest rumors are suggesting an August release for the new device.

    Yeah, I can say with some certainty that there’s no 8900 in the works. Touchscreen is a possibility, but nothing confirmed.

    I have the bold for 2 weeks now, the standard battery never gave me more than 5 hours of use before it was fully drained.

    Now using a 1700 mAh battery which gives me about 8 hours of use.

    Just ordered a 2400 mAh bettery, hoping that will give me at least 12-15 hours of normal use.
    This bold needs a standard battery of about 4000 mAh to put it to good use.
    Love the phone, hate the battery issue on it.
