Maybe PR1.2 will even bring this feature out the box. Let's see...

It's interesting that the user experience varies a lot with this power hack.
Some notice hardly any difference and even with the latest firmware people experience reboots.
Ironically, reboots cost a lot of power... so when you have a few (or even one) a day does it really make a big difference in power savings?

Perhaps the Autodisconnect app is a better solution to try first.
I don't like reboots.
But... as some don't have any reboots at all, do you also belong to that group of users?
Because there are only a few that AND really notice significant worthy improvement AND do not suffer from (frequent) sudden reboots. ;)

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.

It is the size of the N900 and charges it once. Hardly a 'must have'! If it was able to charge to N900 3 or 4 times over then it would be worth investing in. Stick to a spare battery or two. Almost no size, easy and convenient to carry around.
