That would go completely against how I use my N800, and thus how I plan to use the N900. Web pages is what I use the least (once a day, maybe). I am online through wi-fi at all times, if there's wi-fi available (e.g. at work or in town). I expect to get my google talk connections, my skype incoming calls, etc. I think I have about 5 or 6 apps that should be either available for incoming connections, or for going out on the network now and then.

I definitely plan to use the N900 the same way. wi-fi shouldn't affect the battery too much. GSM phone, and even more 3G, probably sucks more.
