Over at Rimarkable, there is an entry about GTalk and who is using it. I responded and asked about if it drains the battery. No one responded so I will ask all of you.

When I had a 7100T It definitely drained my batter where as BB messenger didnt. I havent really kept it on with my Pearl because i don't want my battery to die. Anyone know the answe?

Here is the link to the Rimarkable article.
