That was what I hated about WinMo, when in standby it halts the CPU so cannot remain connected to IM without staying powered up and simply blanking the screen, which drains the battery fast.
(I do NOT have an N900. Having said that...) On every one of the previous tablets, the tablet would enter power saving mode but would still issue alerts, etc., when necessary. That and use almost no power, even when connected to WiFi all through the night.
