Firstly hi all, I'm new to the forum and Blackberry. I have a problem with this model (8310) my phone cuts out at very random intervals during different operations and will not come on again unless I plug in the charger, even though there has never been less than 50% of the power in the battery. I'm at a loss as to why this is happening, any help would be appreciated. P.S. the phone was originally on voda phone then unlocked

It's your battery.

I was having the same problem, and just bought a new battery this past weekend. Everything is back to normal now.

Since work was paying for the battery and I needed it immediately, I plunked down the full price at the AT&T store. There are lots of deals around if you search for sub-$10 batteries, but since this battery model has been out for such a long time, some of those batteries very well may be ones that have been sitting around and may not hold a charge as well as new ones.

Perfect 100%, I've replaced the battery and it's fine now. BB will charge £40 for the genuine one but as hokie123 says they can be got cheaper i got mine for £10 and it's great . Again Hokie123 Thanks for that
regards
