- Battery will be fully drained by morning and phone will be switched off.

From the above test scenarios, I'm surprised to see that playing music all night has not much affect on the battery life, rather GPRS/WiFi has a more adverse affect. I guess this should be the other way round.
I kept my N900 on 3G and WLAN yesterday night. I have very good 3G coverage, so the phone stays all the time in the 3.5 mode.

N900 was in charger during the evening, so it was charged.
In the morning I had still 7 bars out of 8 left, so it did not behave like yours.

I had email checking on (every 30 min).
