Blackberry spyware and short battery life
I noticed everyone is having battery life issues with blackberry devices, but I never did with the one I bought unlocked from the US. I thought it must be the batteries, so I switched batteries with a locally bought one, I still got days of battery life, the local phone didn't. Then I came across an article about UAE Etisalat installing surveillance software that sends messages and emails back to its main server http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/8161190.stm. The program runs in the background, and it is what is draining the battery life. Could Qtel have preinstalled a similar program? I wouldn't doubt it.
I never had a battery problem with the imported phone. And what I am saying is that the surveillance software must be the reason behind battery drainage, the same surveillance company that installed this software for etisalat users have partners in Doha

Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for yourself.
Wouldn't surprise me but everyone I know who has a BBerry over here having terrible battery problems - when I go to Europe or US no issues! Is (locked) US model so you're saying you switched to a new battery and no more battery problems?
