I haven't read one post where someone said they had deep cycled their battery the first 3-5 times. Whenever I get a new device I make sure to fully charge and then allow to drain down almost down to the battery low indicator before charging it uninterrupted again. I do this the first 3-5 times.

I used to read all of these post with people getting 3-4 days on their BB's battery. The thing is most of those people primarily use their BB for email/SMS. Their phone usages is 10% or even less. I am a HEAVY phone user. My BB is primarily for talking on the phone. I talk 90% of the time, and the rest is email/sms, etc. I am getting 1-2 days on the battery with heavy phone use.

I'm wondering if the key to this is because I'm conditioning the battery first. Even though they say these batteries don't have a memory, I just know I do it every time and it seems to do the trick.
