So I charged up my new purchase, and its much much better life than the battery that came with the phone. 1 hour bike ride and virtually no life used up on the battery - compared with 30-40% life with the origial battery.

Wonder if I just got a bad battery with the phone originally, but I read lots of folk having battery troubles - maybe a £5 at amazon is a good investment.
Err.. I don't think you can get an official battery for 5 (pounds?). But I do think it's possible a new battery is better. Especially if your device has locked up and stayed stuck at 600 Mhz for a while (you know cause the N900 will be pretty hot). I think that might kill some battery cells.
