8800. I turned on google maps this afternoon, and did "0" to have it find my current location. Pretty neat.

This evening I laid the bb on the couch and it went into screensaver mode, then a minute later the screen lit up. I assumed that maybe I hit it somehown

then it went to screensaver, then lit up, and that pattern continued.

Then I went into google maps and close out of the application.

I put the bb on the couch and it stayed in screen saver mode.

So, the question is: If you ask maps to find your current location, and then leave the map application without closing the app, is the app running in the background and sucking up battery power and turning the screen on?
