I have the switcher for 3G and 2G. I only use 3G when I go on the internet. Any other time I keep it on 2G.
I disagree with WiFi disabled, at least if you have a wifi basestation where you can use the N900 in the strongest "powersave" mode for WiFi, because even 2G data connection sucks more juice than WiFi then.

Something that seemed to help my batterylife was turning off having Twitter in the IM client, which isn't so strange since Twitter isn't a push service, which means it would have had to poll it at intervals.

Also, I, like others, swere by the "AutoDisconnect" program, which automatically switchess off your GPRS data when you are on WiFi, and Switches between 2G and 3G based on bandwidth demands!


HAVING SAID ALL THAT, one thing I really dislike is the N900's inability to properly give me a current reading. My ancient N95 can give me a second-by-second milliamp- or milliwatt power consumption in graph form.
