Mostly games. The cynic in my says, to entertain you while you are waiting for your messages. But in truth, my BB once again is my mainstay while I am away.

That was my first reaction: Great, so BB users will have something to do when the infrastructure fails again.

Your BB is apperantly not the new 9900: It looses its steam after only half a workday... Where have all of RIM's virtues gone?

My 9900 easily survives a day. Even on heavy use ( like today ).

You might have an app running that consumes the battery.

Oliver you are right: Maybe I just should not use the phone, then it will go through the day easily :-)
