Wiped the phone, reinstalled .86 OS, still killing the battery lost 10% in one hour just sitting on the desk in lock mode. Wiped the phone again, back to .75 OS. Hopefully battery life is back to normal, if not off to the Verizon store I go tomorrow to demand a new battery.

I am on version .75 and yet when I try to update the phone it says no updates available. Jesus this thread makes me feel like a complete technology retard.

.86 isn't an official release yet. There's a leak of it out on crackberry.com plus instructions on how to install it. It's pretty straight forward. .75 is the latest official release.

Even though the instructions are pretty easy, I wouldn't recommend it unless you feel capable on updating to a nonauthorized OS. This does void your warranty and insurance if you brick your phone.

Ahh in that case, I will stick to what I have.

I just know that I would update it and then my phone just magically break in half with no insurance. *Sigh*

Ok. So flame if you must, but I'm new to the mobile browser world. Do I go to the regular url from by bb to reap the benefits of the mobile site, or is it another url? I've tried the site in the past using the standard url, and it is such a mess I don't do it anymore.

Thanks!

Go to the regular url and sign in, you have to sign in to see it, it gets rid of a lot of images like sigs and avatars and makes it easier to post.

back to OS .86, found out it might be weatherbug killing my battery, so I deleted that app and giving .86 another try.

Forgot about that app. It's pushing pretty regularly so I could see how it would be a drain on the system.
