Hoping this place runs phpBB code so here goes:

Get one of these - 1/8 the price, and green too! Not the best if you live in Britain because we see the sun so little we have blue skin. Anyone seen Avatar? Is it wrong to fancy a female alien?

I do actually carry one of these and a spare battery for it around; however, given that I'm in Britain too, I tend to top them up from USB if I think I'll be using a lot of power before I can next recharge my n900...

You can not make a post like this with out posting your settings. Like what you have on and whats turned off and how much you use it. it's just not fair to the rest of us lol.. we are all over here fantasizing about getting a days worth of use out of our phone. i know i sure am. If you do decided to update it will be greatly appreciated and i will certainly configure my phone in the exact way as you have yours

My Dad used to work for Compaq computers (waaaayyyy back in the eighties) and we have this:

Compaq Portable II with a massive 20Mb hard-drive and a powerful 286 clocked at 8mhz.

We still have it and it still works!

Unfortunately my right arm is now 6 inches longer than my left.

Works will with me, I get a WHOLE day instead of 1/2 a day!!!

;)

Get these instead of spare battery:
Nokia DC-11 Extra Power Charger

Spare Battery requires turning off the phone, opening the back cover, changing the battery. Personally, I don't really like to keep opening the back cover.

There's another type of charger which uses AA battery, Nokia DC-8.

I use the spare battery/charger at home. It is easy, inexpensive, works great.

It's about the size of iPhone, as it fits perfectly in iPhone's pouch when I was looking a pouch for it, :p

Personally, it's much better than to carry a spare battery which requires turning off the phone, opening the cover, changing the battery...

But yea, it's troublesome to carry around. Just an option :)

Start exercising and charge your battery at the same time:
Dynamo Hand-Crank USB Cell Phone Emergency Charger

I have one of those (older model with 2mm connection) and it works with N900 (using 2mm - uUSB adapter).
