Were Back! What Did You Get This Holiday Season?
December 26th, 2007 by Ronen Halevy
Christmas is over and we are back to our regularly scheduled programming (that is until new years 
).
I have been noticing an influx of requests from new BlackBerry users this past week or two. It seems that many people got a new BlackBerry device this holiday season. I personally did not get any new BlackBerry accessories this holiday but I did get a Wii which is awesome. I have been playing Mario Galaxy and Guitar hero since I got it.
So I have to ask, what did you get this holiday?
I am curious to see how many people got hot items from our BlackBerry Holiday Gift Guide

I got myself a couple of extra batteries and a charger… but they ain’t here yet.
I live sort of… far away. In a very distant land.

I always wanted to get an extra battery but the 2 minute boot up time always killed the idea in my mind. I really never understood why the BlackBerry needs to take as long as Vista to startup. Maybe we should ask for linux on BlackBerry

Even with the gruesome boot time, an extra battery would have saved the day on a small trip I took recently.
.
I took 280 pictures, no less. By 4pm, I realized I wouldn’t have enough power for the entire day and walked around holding the phone against my holster - check this out - just to make the screen turn off faster and save a little power. How ridiculous is that? At 4:45pm, I decided not to take pictures anymore because I only had 20% left and you probably know that the phone turns off at 15%, even if that 15% is enough for more than 3 hours of MP3 (try it if you don’t believe me). I was going to meet a friend afterwards, and if the phone died, we would have no communication. So I couldn’t take all the pictures I wanted, and I also had to stand on a line for 1 entire hour and couldn’t even listen to music because I was afraid of burning up that last 5% and losing the phone feature.
.
These batteries are pretty thin. If I had taken an extra one in my pocket, I would have had a much more pleasant day.

Yeah I got pissed off about the cellphone connection shutting down after 30% battery life! My old 8800 used to just turn all connections off when it got down below 30%. My 8310 only shuts down after 20 or 15% but still at least give users the option to turn it back on. It is almost like the last few percents are useless.
