To confirm this, I left the phone out of the holster last night and the battery did not drain at all overnight with the power off.

Thanks in advance.

A question or 2 for you:

1. Which way do you put the phone into the holster, screen facing in, or screen facing out?
2. Do you have your phone set-up for "Holster Mode", where it automatically LOCKS the keys when you put the phone in the holster?

I've always placed my phone in the holster face (screen) inward. With the 8900 Curve, this might result in the keys and/or trackball being pressed in, but I've always had my phone lock its keys when in Holster Mode. Also, I only use that holster in the car, to clip my BlackBerry onto my visor. The rest of the time, I use a leather pouch.

And last, but certainly not least, I always CHARGE my BlackBerry overnight while I'm sleeping! Doesn't anybody believe in CHARGING their phones anymore?
