a tip for batteries is to totally flatten then totally recharge it 3 times, this does make any battery hold its charge better, trouble is battery technology cant keep up with phone technology, should nokia not have developed the n900 just cos theres no battery currently available to give people 48hrs standby time? i think not, personally i would have still bought the device if charge only lasted for 1 hour, you all have the latest technology in your hand, be happy about it!
