Haven't gotten around to installing the SSU since being kicked off of my SD-boot (which had the SSU installed), and as the 2nd battery complainer, I must say that the battery is again giving me the expected results . On my SD boot, after installing the SSU, I noticed my battery having some trouble lasting through the day with fairly light usage (for the first time in months, my battery had actually died). After what my n810 has been through today (quite a bit of browsing, and, oddly enough, some netbeans usage), I can say with some confidence that the battery is fine, so it must have been something else to have caused the battery drain (the SSU or telescope are the main suspects, but it could be a number of things).

Once I finally get my SD-boot back up and running, I'd be willing to run tests before and after installing the SSU on the internal flash to see if it has significant effects on idle-usage so we can finally settle this
