Is there a way to set the n900 to connect to internet automatically, allow applications to update and then disconnect? I noticed that it will stay connected all the time....
well... on the 30'th i wanted too see how fast the battery is draining on the standby. No internet connection. Widgets on that day ... mmm... foreca weather (settings to update: manually) calendar, world clock with 1 additional clock (yes that takes some of the battery life as well) 6 contacts, 2 displays and some icons (email, phone book, messages, notes, browser)

You can see where i started my 3g internet connection:

battery.charge_level.percentage = 77 (0x4d) (int)

I don't think there is one yet, but i'd like to see that too... though that eats battery life as well
