My first BB ever, the curve 9360. All fine, but what a dissapointment that the battery does not even last a day. This is on very moderate use for example, just receiving a few mails, BBM'ing a few times and going onto FB once

jus bought this fone a week ago or so.... for nearly 20K Indian Rupees, i got my Samsung I9003 too which is now about 18K.... frankly only the battery in my samsung was the piss off else the specs were gr8 with a 1Ghz processor, 512 MB Ram.... 4GB inbuilt memory of which about 1.7GB was available to the user....
here im getting a 800Mhz processor, 512 MB Ram.... 512 MB memory available to the user of whivh about 360 MB was already used for/by the system so i was getting jus close to 150 Mb or so to beef up my mobile, though i must say the usabilty and the weight of the fone is amazingly light and still holds well in ur hands, the plastic gloss screen is a real finger print magnet..... battery with heavy usage still lasts about a day for me, about 2.5-3 hours of browsing, 5 hours talk time, havent still run much of videos in it....
on the business end, its given me gr8 ease to handle my mails and BB messenger is def a unique BB product....
the bad part is no flash support on the browser and when i use more than 3-4 apps at the same time, major hanging problem....
typing is quite good and easy thnx to the shape the keys have been designed....
accessing some basic features and menu etc is gr8.... frankly when i tested my frnds BB 8520, didnt really find much differences btw the OS5 and OS7.... jus more like a few cosmetic differences.....
Gaming is def no-no for the BB.... still love my samsung for that.... the music is quite good though, not one of the best speakers or the loudest but the sound is crystal clear, and the video quality is just gr8....
the camera does lack some advanced features like ISO/white balance.... etc, some very very basic features... the good part is it has an LED flash and takes some nice pics, the pics had a very fine and soft look....
some paid BB apps were really not so worth it, atleast the entertainment ones, but the business apps are gr8...
on the other materialistic matters, the fone definitely looks very classy and stylish to show off, gr8 looks and design and pretty sturdy too and the finish quality is quite good, again not the best in the market but pretty good!!
all in all id rate the mobile
Battery=6/10
Usage (Business) : 8.5/10
Specs : 6/10
Entertainment : 7/10
style/design : 8/10
all in all id rate this fone about a 6.5/10 whereas id rate my Samsung Galaxy SL I9003 an 8-8.5/10 of course compared to the fones around the same price bracket, lets leave some of the bigger beasts aside, one shudnt compare mice with lions :)
also previously i have used the samsung wave 2 too, only prob is the Bada OS.... else it was a gr8 fone in its own way too :)

i'm using this phone for a week already and i'm loving it. despite all of the negative things i read before i bought it. when i'm using it battery is okay. i think those who are complaining that the battery sucks they thought their BB is a laptop heehee :D it's really awesome to use. :)

Got this phone for 2 weeks now and I must say its the best BB so far, I am happy I sold my bold 9700 to buy this, it is perfect, the fast, slim and elegan. I love it.

Just bought this mobile 3 days ago and got surprised with the very poor performance of its battery. I was about to bring it to service center but then I read all comments here and apparently, I'm not the only one experiencing this battery problem. This is really not good as I have to charged it twice a day. For me, its not a good choice of phone. Please respect my opinion. Thanks!

Hi mzway. If you think the 9360 is looks good than the black 9780, that's your opinion. Everybody has there own taste and I won't argue with that. When we said the 9360 has problems with battery life "even with moderate to heavy use," we mean we used it already with minimal usage and it still has the same result. Thank you for your inputs anyway. I feel you love your phone so much. Does anyone have a "more objective" review with the BlackBerry Curve 9360 with regards to battery life?

bb fan, 24 Nov 2011which blackberry model would be better? 9630 curve or 9780 ... moreHie gsm viewers, gsm arena had reviewd that bold 9900 has a gud battery and wen I brought one, it didn't last even for a single day with moderate use.so I exchangd 9900 with bold 9780 and I can say that I am very pleased with it. Battery is awesome as it lasts 2-3 days easily with moderate use Same is the case with curve 9360. Since it uses 1000mA battery I m sure that it won't last entire 24hrs. Kindly avoid buying 9360 as u would b on the losing side. Bold 9780 rocks evn though it operates on older os 6.
