I have N900 more then 1 month, so:

Intensive WiFi - up to 5hours, highly depends on screen brightness.

Periodic daily WiFi (each hour around 10-15mins) and phone calls - whole day (12h).

Periodic daily 3G and phone calls - 2 days (yes, but you should disable WiFI and stop wlancond daemon and unload wl12xx, mac80211 and crc7 drivers). Intensive - one day (12h)

(the WiFi problem is acknowledged by Nokia and they already prepared a fix in next release, but still doesn't do it public yet)

Video play - around 5-8hours. (Yutube takes more energy - 5h - because of WiFi/3G)

Just phone - weeks.

Some tricks do exist to save battery, like stopping/killing some not energy saving applications or locking screen ASAP, of course.
