Re: VZW 6900 battery / programs running

well, in my opinion, your battery life experience is typical for the Touch. smaller phone, smaller battery and a feature rich device adds up to less battery life. how many calls do you make during the day? factors such as signal strength could be affecting your battery life, too. it's been my experience with the GSM Touch, Sprint Touch and Verizon Touch that their respective batteries will not last a full (24 hour) day with moderate usage. (I'm assuming that the phone is on for a full 24 hours). This is why I moved to a larger battery. I have a Seidio 2000 mah battery - that increases thickness by 3.5 mm - and i've been able to go 1.5-2 days with the Sprint Touch and Verizon Touch before i need to recharge. it's the function over form tradeoff; 3.5 mm additional thickness for extended battery life...
