I recently completed a rundown test on an N800/OS2008 with WiFi disabled and the device completely idle - it lasted 12 days 2 hours before the low battery warning sounded.

Now testing with WiFi enabled...

If you're only getting 12 hours you either have a defective battery, or you have installed an application which is not allowing the CPU to go to sleep - what apps have you installed on your device?

Tip: Don't leave the browser open if Javascript is active on a web page - the browser can chew through 40-50% CPU even when the browser is "minimised" as the Javascript runs constantly. Always close the browser, or return to a homepage which doesn't have active javascript, when you are finished browsing.
