How to maximize battery power

Battery power can be maximized by following these simple suggestions.
  • Use BlackBerry smartphone shortcuts to access common system features quickly.  Using shortcuts allows you to do the same things on your BlackBerry smartphone more quickly and efficiently, while saving battery power.
Some common shortcuts include the following:
  • To delete a highlighted item, press the Delete key.
  • To select or clear a check box, press the Space key.
  • To view available values in a field, press the Alt key.
  • To switch applications:
    1. Hold the Alt key and press the Escape key.
    2. Continue to hold the Alt key and highlight an application.
    3. Release the Alt key.
  • Set the Auto On/Off option to turn off the BlackBerry smartphone at a time of day when you are not using it (such as at night), and turn on again at a time of day that you are ready to use it (such as in the morning just before you wake up). Battery power is saved by turning the power off at times when the BlackBerry smartphone is not being used.
To set the Auto On/Off option on the BlackBerry smartphone, complete the following steps:
  1. On the Home screen, open Options.
  2. Select Auto On/Off.
  3. Specify the on and off times.
Tip: Set the BlackBerry smartphone to turn on just before you need to use it, (such as a few minutes before you wake up in the morning) so that the BlackBerry smartphone has a chance to receive the email messages sent to you during the time that the BlackBerry smartphone was turned off. This way, the email messages have already been received when you are ready to read them.
  • When a particular wireless connection is not needed, use the Manage Connections application on the BlackBerry smartphone to turn off the connection. For example, if you do not need to use Bluetooth® technology, you can use Manage Connections to turn the Bluetooth connection off.
To turn the Bluetooth connection off on the BlackBerry smartphone, complete the following steps:
  1. On the Home screen, open Manage Connections.
  2. Click Bluetooth.
Note: Using Manage Connections, turn the mobile wireless transceiver off when you know you are out of range of the mobile network. Turning the mobile wireless transceiver off prevents the BlackBerry smartphone from continually attempting to locate the mobile network, which uses a lot of battery power.

i have noticed with the pearl that by keeping it in the sleeve that it comes with (with the embedded magnet) that i get twice the battery life than just a standard case because it goes off when it is in the case and i think it goes into some kind of ultra low power mode or something. It just works.

Good tips...but I've got a question.

If I set my BB to off at night, does it mean the phone gets completely shut down?  Or only the email function got turned off?  I still want people to find me if there's an emergency at night and I also use my phone as my alarm clock.
