Every three days! I don't get anything near that. I can't imagine that I use my mine too much more than you.

Of course I'd guess you're using Edge and not 3G. And I have push email turned on.

Come to think of it, there was a program installed when I app unlocked my device. Someone mentioned that it affected their battery life. I'll uninstall it and see.

Tomorrow is going to be crazy long day as I'm getting married. So we'll see if it lasts the day.

Update: Have you seen a pecurlarity where the SD card is not visible on occasion?

Oh, you might be surprised. There are days when I don't leave my office all day, and the phone just sits there not being used, though it is turned on.

I'm on 3G. We have that up here in Canada. I don't have push email turned on - that's a definite drain on battery life, and in general I think push email is evil from a societal point of view.

Wow! Congratulations! I hope it went well.

No, I haven't seen that - I have an 8 GB Sandisk microSD in there.

Everything went well Sunday. And I'm also on my second day without a charge. I think it was definitely something that I had installed killing my battery life. I even left my Wifi on last night. I'm still running with 3 bars.

Good to hear! Remember: never go to bed angry.

Could be. I'm doing a battery test myself just to see how long it really does last - I'll let you know what I find out.

Do we have a full on review to look forward to?

I have the Blackjack II and am wondering if it's worth upgrading. Probably with 6.5, but not so sure with 6.1.

Yes, I'll be doing a video review - likely next week.

Great to hear. I've enjoyed the videos you've done and look forward to more.

I'm glad to hear you like them - when I first started there were some complaints from people who preferred written articles, but I honestly find the videos so much easier to do. There's only so much I can write, but talking on camera? That's pretty easy.

Just as an FYI: I started my battery test with a full charge at 8:28 AM on July 7th. Today, more than 48 hours later, I still have three bars of battery life. Keep in mind though that I don't do many phone calls on it - maybe 5 minutes total in the past two days. I have my Exchange email set to sync every 4 hours, and yesterday I used it for a fair bit of email.

So, all in all, I'd say the battery life on the Jack is pretty darn good. I'm continuing my test of course and will report the final battery life I got with it...

Haven't seen a video review/comparo of the Jack. Did I miss it some how or did you decide against it?
