I just got a new cell phone. The Blackberry Flip 8230 from Alltel (we're not scheduled to be switched over to Verizon until October out here in Nebraska). I have noticed that my battery life is getting worse each day. Example: Yesterday I had a full charge when I went to work at 7am. I only use the phone once during my first 15 minute break to check my facebook and myspace messages around 9:30am. At 3pm during my second 15 minute break I noticed that my phone was in the yellow status for battery (less than half) and by the time I got home it was almost dead. I've also noticed that my network connection is acting up as well. I use to be on EV all the time, expect of course when I made or received a call then the phone would go back to 1X for voice only. Now I'm lucky to get EV for more than a few minutes. It bounces between EV for a minute or 2 and then goes right back to 1X and is horribly slow. is my phone a piece of junk or is it my battery causing the problems?
Is this usual for a cell phone battery?
