Your device is not working correctly. Either you are actually in a spotty coverage area and the device is rapidly flipping in and out of 3g, or something else is horribly wrong. In a strong 3G (TMobile) area if I just leave my n900 powered on connected to 3/3.5G, with 3 email accounts (1 exchange, 2 via nokia messaging push) it can go 24+hours. As in, I remember on sunday that I've not plugged it in since end of the day @ work Friday, and it's still quite alive and kicking.
