Why no one is talking about this! It seems to me the huge reason NOT to buy N900 and everyone is silent. This must be some kind of joke i still can't believe this is a real issue.

I think I am adding nokia to "Never Buy Brand" list which already includes Motorola.

Can you imagine uproar if iphone had this problem. I seriously expected more from Nokia's phone.
No, I don't think that's what I was telling you....just that sometimes it is the situation...but not always....lately I've been OK with charging up battery fully inside the N900 using the AC charger connected....

Also, I bought an external battery charger for about $5 USD off of ebay, so, not exactly a big expense....but it's very nice to have when needed.....

I don't have any proof of this, but I suspect that perhaps part of the battery issue is somewhat related to the age of the Nokia batteries that came with the N900 as they were produced a few years ago by now, right?....

So, take a deep breath and relax......and then enjoy this great little linux pocket computer.....
