Default VZW 8703e Battery Life (Real World Environment)

Please Login to Remove!

Folks,

Trust all is well.

To give you some background - had an 8700c, but picked up a Q for reliable voice coverage. I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss the BB.

As it is now released for VZW, one note is the change in battery life (8703 vs. 8700x) - CDMA being the culprit here.

Even with the GSM unit - the real life battery settings were on average a solid 2 days (~150 emails/day - 1.5 hrs talk - adequate use of browsing - holdem on the subway.)

I'm trying to get a gauge of how the 8703e battery life is fairing as some of you have had it for a couple of days now.

InPocket stated somewhere that his battery life was quite erratic going up and down - other then that, haven't seen/heard too much in regards to battery life.

Please share your insight.

Regards,
