> In reply to LJ @ 2012-01-07 04:21 from N9s% - click to readI purchased a curve 9360 and have just got back from returning it. What can I say. My first gripe was that it took about 5 mins just to boot up. Good thing it wasn't an emergency call. Nice design but not fit for purpose. Battery life was a joke. Then it got stuck in the boot sequence and just froze up. They advertise the phone as having all these amazing functions however, should you decide to use any of them, be prepared to sit plugged in to the mains all day. Not very practical for a mobile phone. I got a full refund! I'm told all smart phones are the same so I'm sticking with my old Nokia. 8 days now without a charge! It still functions fine!!

Have my phone for just over a week now. Battery life is ridiculous. Last about half a day if you take calls, play games/music or go online.Web browser is slow (I ownlaoded and installed Opera mini and it speeds things up a bit.

Also, the phone heats up ridiculously if I play games or go online or try to download anything(even from BB AppWorld. Does this happen to anyone else?

Before I bought this phone I looked at all the problems people had mentioned and I was really worried about getting the phone.
In my opinion it is fantastic. It's a blackberry and there are no new surprises. Its thin, very light, runs well on the new software and does everything a you expect a BB to do.
In terms of the battery life, I have turned down the brightness and don't leave my wifi and bluetooth on when I dont need it. I have found the battery will last 2 days if I am careful.
I don't play games and music on the phone, which may be why my battery isn't going down as quickly as others. However, in my view it does everything a blackberry needs to do (email, calls, sms, bbm) and it is a great little phone!

Make sure you have shut down any games you are playing properly to help with battery life. You cannot just use the back button to close a game as it remains on in the background. Use exit game or close game ... your battery life will last for days if you close apps properly. Hope this helps :)

personally, i've found that this handset works a treat. i've had no battery problems, no software issues, nothing.
It's faster than my 9700 and i found that BB OS7 is easy to use.
i prefer this over my iphone4. i hope this provides a little positivity for this handset.

im also having the same prob with the batt life, very short. i charge my fone 3x a day. it's just 6days old. my postpaid provider said that RIM does not allow replacement just like that. they need to take in my fone and bring it to SG for checking. im from Philippines. maximum of 3mos. my gosh! i cant live with fone for 3mos! i hope RIM will hear our cries and do something about this at once. why cant they just recall the fone or release a new batt pack? i think that's easier. im wondering why RIM increased the processor but did not for the batt. doesnt it follow? im really disappointed and frustrated.
