Apparently the Research In Motion BlackBerry Bold 9700 smartphone has some “freak’n amazing” battery life according to Kevin over at Crackberry who has apparently been going round asking everyone he comes across with a BlackBerry Bold 9700 “So how about that battery life on the BlackBerry Bold 9700?”
He’s not too sure what Research In Motion have done short of waved a magic wand in the developer labs or even stuck moon isotopes under the battery cover, or even rewrote and optimised the radio stack, but he says whatever RIM did is has worked.
Over the past few years RIM has crammed features into the BlackBerry which has taken a toll on battery life, but apparently the BlackBerry Bold 9700 has changed that and he says delivers an easy two days of life.
The screen capture is of his Rogers BlackBerry Bold 9700 after exactly 24 hours of steady use and this morning he still had over “half the juice” left whereas his original BlackBerry Bold 900 would have hit yellow bars; so it does look like RIM have solved the battery life problem, now is there anyone who has a BlackBerry Bold 9700 who can confirm this out there?
Yo, you had a few typo’s, but nice battery life review. But in my experience Blackberry has always had good battery life, especially the first Curve from T-Mo. From wat I’m hearing now it seems like it’s great now. Looking forward to seeing it for myself, I’ll be back to let you know.
The 9700 is better than the classic Bold by a stretch.
Same bright screen etc so you would think the battery drain woud still be the same, right?
But no it is pretty much sorted. Except, well is it just me but 2 days of phone life is still pretty minimal. Csll me greedy but I want the phone to make it through the weekend without any worries.
The answer is to use a little app called autostandby it sorted mine out a treat now I get 3-4 days straight on the Bold2.
More like it, right?
