I'm also just got the n900 and evaluating the battery life on at&t (no 3G).
-I haven't installed any apps,
-I charge using the charger
- display on lowest setting
- my SIM is also about 4 years old
- I have the same settings you except I do let it connect to at&t internet automatically, search 10 mins. No wifi ever
- only had it 4 days and because of xmas, I havent been on my usual daily routine to compare to E71. But looks like

9am - midnight => 20% battery left. 5 mins of calls, Nokia Messaging checking every 30 mins and 2 accounts in conversations. Connected to at&t internet (2G) the whole time. The screen is probably on 15 mins MAX the whole period.

I'm hoping it can be 30-40% at mid-night when I get back to my daily routine... I'll know next week

The only app that I've installed is ForecaWeather. I've used it a couple of times. But the stats that I've given are even when the app has been taken offline. The way you've described your usage, I would love to have that 20% remaining at the end of the day......that would be tremendously better than having to recharge the phone 2 sometimes 3 times a day.

Oh and I charge using the charger. The charging using the USB is taking awfully long.

The 2+ weeks of having the phone, I'm pretty sure I've gone through 30+ cycles of recharging the phone and still do not see any improvement in the battery life.

Hope you have better luck with yours.
