- wifi scan every 10 mins
- foreca widget (1h interval checks), load applet
- 1h internet radio
- 10 min phone calls (several calls)
- 4-8 photos with flash
- 2-3 mins video recording
- 10h wifi connection
- 2h 3G connection

Usually I am doing about 16-20 hours with a fully charged battery and I am pretty happy with it. After reading this thread I've done some tweaks which will improve battery usage. I think this will help a little more.

With some tweaks and light usage one should be able to do 30+ hours on a full charge.

For me 18 hours with moderate usage is very acceptable. Anything more is a bonus
Ya, well screw you lol My N900 wouldn't last more than 6 hours WITHOUT using it. Even turned off the internet connection completely.
Regardless I sent it back to Nokia and they are sending me a new one (at a snails pace I should add).

But I came across someone else with the same issue as me on the Nokia Forums (http://discussions.nokiausa.com/disc...cending&page=2)
Now he also got a replacement unit and the problem persisted! What he eventually did was end up getting a new SIM card and that solved the issue. Weird, right?
So I will have to try that when my replacement N900 gets here but my SIM isn't that old to begin with so who knows.

Just wanted to share for anyone else having horrible battery life and are extremely jealous of people like him above^ lol
Can I ask, are you in the US, using T-Mobile USA?
