BB 7290 Question
Hello -
Any idea why my Blackberry 7290 only charges to 85% half the time (and other times it will fully charge)? Not a huge deal, just wondering if I am doing anything incorectlly. I charge each morning when I come into the office.
Thanks.

This is based on the estimated power available in the battery (or so I believe). Some aftermarket batteries and older BB batteries will show less than 100% when fully charged.
You can try a fresh OEM battery and see if you get 100%.

Totally unscientific...
I would also see what the charge status is after a hard reboot (i.e. remove the battery). My 7290's memory availability will change to the better after a battery removal. The memory thing was documented on a few bulletin boards, by the way. So who knows, maybe the battery level issue might show similar results.
