And so i am kind of used to have a crap battery, but if n900 could resist from 8am to 10pm without a charge it is perfect.
Just a note on that, your E90 probably has a duff battery if that's the kind of life you get out of it - Mine lasted (and still does) 4-7 days per charge depending on usage, with wifi and bluetooth enabled constantly.

Windows Phone 7 OS LIMITATIONS:
No system-wide file manager
No videocalling
Limited third-party apps availability
No Bluetooth file transfers
No USB mass storage mode
No multitasking
No copy/paste
Too dependent on Zune software for computer file management and syncing
No music player equalisers
No Flash or Silverlight support in the web browser
No sign of free Bing maps Navigation so far
No DivX/XviD video support
No internet tethering support
New ringtones available only through the Marketplace
Swapping memory card requires hard reset; cards not readable by computer
I think you're a little mis-informed with this list (the misinformed list that was first published a while ago on gsmarena and has been incorrectly copy/pasted loads of places since), as quite a few of these arent correct.
Also, further worth noting, most of the limitations above that *are* correct (and some of the ones that arent) also apply to Maemo and the N900, which also lacks, out of the box:

system-wide file manager
Video calling
USB mass storage
equalisers
current flash
silverlight
wifi tethering

The difference is though, Maemo will never see any of these issues fixed. Microsoft have already announced their intentions to fix most of the current limitations of WP7 within the next few months at the most.
