By the way, if you really want to go down to the technical stuff in power management for Maemo 5 you can have a look at the session Peter De Schrijver made at FOSDEM earlier this year

In the Summit you can meet Igor Stoppa in person. He will be glad talking to you about power management and other core stuff.
These theoretical data is meaningless to the average end-user as we don't know how well the internal software is written/optimized. I wish one of the user's here with a proto-type at home would chime in and give an idea of current battery usage.

Even though its proto firmware, it should give a decent indication. For example, if a regular day of medium usage yields 8 hours on the latest firmware then perhaps production firmware (week away) might see a ~25% increase to 12 hours but 16 hours would be unrealistic given the release time-frame.

I mean, should people who pre-order really have to just "trust" Nokia on an acceptable battery life. 9am to 11pm with at least 1 bar left?
