Once you install the new operating system i guarantee you will be happy with it and you will find the battery life to be similar to the 8310's. Hope that helps.

Just to clarify I don't see the new operating system having any benefit in changing the battery life.
Can someone explain how to know if the pouch is causing a problem. As soon as I slip my BB into the pouch the screen goes off? That is normal but would have thought pouch wouldn't do that if defective. PS. I am on my second 8900 and 2nd no better then first in battery life.
