    Help Time Without Signal - 99%

    I'm never one to complain about battery. If you use the phone, expect it to use the battery. However, I just got the Revolution a few days ago. I charged it to 100% the other night, and left it off the charger. In 7 hours, without any use at all, the battery was just over 20%. Without...
