Seems like i've heard it needs to be a cerain ampage or voltage.

I may be wrong but as long as you use a charger with less power you should be fine. Never use a charger rated higher than the OEM charger

I'm using the wall charger from my BB Storm... that way I can save the USB cord in my computer bag for hooking to my laptop when needed. I had two of the USB cords for my BB but they've gone missing in the past few months.

My battery will last from about 7am until 5pm..my co workers last from 7 until 10pm..I don't get why it varies so much from user to user..we have about the same settings configured.

Maybe you're on your phone more than your coworker is?

No I have a work phone for that. I do a fair amount of web browsing but don't have a lot of widgets or stream pandora or anything. I am hoping that after a couple cycles the battery will improve as other users have reported.

Power Control

One thing that helps:
Turn oiff auto-brightness, it wastes a lot of battery.
Instead turn it down all the way and add the 'Power Control' widget and tap on the brightness button WHEN NEEDED.
That will save battery

I just added the power control widget. I dont know what one of the icons represents. What is the icon to the left of the screen brightness dimmer? (its a round circle with circular arrows inside)

Thanks in advance
