Standard Battery Capacities on Q9 Global and Blackjack 2?

Greetings Programs...

I'm trying to select between these two fine devices, the Q9 Global and the Blackjack 2, both, obviously on the AT&T network.

I've compared all of the specs, and thus far, the BJ2 seems to be in the lead - a bit smaller, lighter, has UMTS on 2100 Mhz (nice for those quarterly trips when work sends me to London ), and a bit more memory. That said, the q9 Global seems like a very nice phone as well, though I've never been a Moto lover, overall.

The big question is the battery. In the standard packages, what are the mAh ratings on the batteries?

Thanks for any insight, and please, don't let this turn into a "my phone is better than your phone" discussion.

the blackjack 2 has a 1700mAH battery standard, there's no "extended' one for the BJII. That said the extended one for the BJ was 1800 so you'll get close to what you got with that, only it's smaller and lighter now

The moto i'm not sure it's capacity but i'll just let someone else answer that. From what i read tho, the moto gets crazy battery life from it's extended one, not sure how you'll like that as it makes the device bigger. NOt sure of that capacity either.

The Q has the regular battery, which is 1170 mAh and usually lasts me about one day running Google maps, Opera, SMS, and playing music. It also has an extended battery, which is 1800 mAh. I've only used the extended battery once because the regular battery lasts long enough for me, but it still had over half of the battery doing the above tasks for about the same amount of time. That's crazy good in my opinion considering my past mobile experiences.

Good info guys..

So, is it normal to expect battery life of roughly 1 day? Wow, that's going to be a gigantic leap backwards.

I'm (apparently) spoiled by going 2-4 days between charges on my Nokia (S60 3.x) devices, like E61i, E50, etc...

How many (realistic) days would one expect out of a BJ2 with the standard (1700 mAh) battery? I'll likely be in mostly 3G coverage, using Exchange DirectPush (at least during business hours, probably shut that down off hours)..
