N900 Power Consumption Profiles
 

All you lucky buggers that have N900 devices - could you please indicate what kind of device/firmware you have (development, pre-release summit etc) along with your typical usage profile and how long your battery lasts?

Are you a 'power user' that lasts from 09:00 to 14:00 before a recharge?

Are you a blogger that can rock online all day 09:00-17:00?

Yes, the 'final firmware' may well change things, but I'd be interested to get an overview of how things stand.

Battery lasts from 6am to 11pm, and would even longer, but that is when I charge it over night.
On a typical working day, a few minutes of phone calling, moderate web surfing, up to 2 hours of playing music over FM transmitter, and being always online with 3G, pulling weather updates regularly.
My current firmware is OS 41-10. Battery life improved a lot with OS 39-x IMHO. Have been using the device since mid of September.

Just asking, would you want this data in an excel sheet or just plain vanilla data should suffice??

Let's not get anal about this....any data within the context of my original post...however you feel best communicates it...that's fine :)

I think you need to look up what irony means;)

Re: N900 Power Consumption Profiles
 

Thanks for the info Py. Sounds like there will be no issues with the battery. I would have thought streaming via the fm transmitter would have killed it quick - but it seems like thats not the case. HUZZAH!
