My only dissapointment with the N900 has been the battery life as well.

The second firmware update really made a difference, but battery life is still very low. I think a rule of thumb should be that the device should be able to run longer than I can. I think this should indeed be the minimun requirement.

The conversation about Nokia's choice of battery for the phone, well yes, I feel it too that its not powerful enough for the device. However, guess I should've expected this as the phone costs less than other devices from Nokia with equal or worse specs, so the money's always off something else, I presume. Also, I do feel that the N900 is somewhat of an experiment.
