Blackberry curve battery?

Blackberry curve 8530 battery life? 10 points?

• i have the verizon curve 8530 and the battery life is NOT nearly what it should be. i take all the precaution with shutting down unused connections, brightness is all the way down and its always in stand bye when not used, i also exit unused applications and i have done PLENTY of hard resets and battery pulls. i have even done a master reset. i get like half a day on my curve and i use bbm, and whatsapp mostly, texting and facebook come in second and the rest i use rarely (including the web browser cause its so horrible). i guess i am a moderate to heavy user but my friends who use their phones more than me get like 2-4 days out of their curves. i decided to take the pull the battery door out of both mine and my friends curve to see if they were using the same battery. Ours both said c-s2 but hers looked completely different from mine (like the outside design of it and stuff). she got hers from verizon and i got mine from ebay. could someone put a less than adequate substitute battery that had the same name before selling it? and is it worth order another blackberry curve PROPER battery that is going to be correct one or does the look of the battery not matter? help please!

  blackberry's are extremely crap for battery life; i ditched my blackberry for a iPhone and i recommend you do too ;-)
