Simple websurfing over the cellular network (for me Tmobile USA) takes up little battery juice. Example, surfing websites like reading sports, news, etc. Even sending SMS and a little phone conversations, and a few pics are fine.

But once you go to websites like Youtube and watch videos, the battery starts to drain significantly. Or playing videos in your library.

Are you using your N900 on Youtube a lot or playing videos in your library?
No not at all this for this charge and it literally just told me to plug it in (from 3pm EST to 830pm EST).
So can you browse the web for how many hours on a single charge using 3G? Looking for a comparison.

And again with the conditioning and proper charging lol I understand the need for these things but they will never make my battery last 4x what it is lasting now lol I might gain 30 minutes but not the several hours I need for this to be a functional device, ya know?
