"Great phone, poor battery"
4.0 starson by blue1244Pros: Features, Keyboard, phone quality
Cons: Battery life
Summary: Came from the Curve 8330, which I really liked. Overall, the Tour is awesome. Love the apps/features, keyboard, phone quality. Wasn't sure I'd like the keyboard compared to the Curve, but I actually like it better.
My biggest complaint of the Tour is horrible battery life. I cannot make it through the day on a single charge. I did not have this problem with the Curve.

I agree with your comment on the battery life. My only negative comment on the Blackberry Tour.

THE TOUR BATTERY LIFE IS HORRIBLE!!
It won't make it through the day (the Curve and previous BB's did). I don't know what to do, because I can't carry a charger around and I can't have my cell phone stop working at 7pm every night when I am out and about. I am very surprised that BB designed a worse phone than the predecessor phones. -
Since yu have been a BB user, do you "close out" of an application ? I don't have issues with the battery. I also have the LED light set to 10 and I still can view with no issues. The Blue Tooth drains and so I also make sure I no only have the headset turned off but also set off on the phone itself. I do regularly charge my phone, it is my only phone. I also reboot it every night and make sure I delete all text messages and emails. There is an app called Quick Pull and you don't have to take the battery out anymore to reset the device.
