Upon finishing recharging back the batt, restart back Columbus to see if any problem arose because of improper shutdown. All I can say is that Columbus seems to be running ok.
I did notice 1 thing though, my N900 did became a bit hot. If i scale 1 to 10, it would be around 7-8. That hot. While testing, i did OC to 950Mhz with active animated livewallpaper. Wonder it's because of my OC'ing?
Anyway, my report is that Columbus seems to be running rather well on my end. I'll post here for any updates/faults/hanging etc,.

Sincerely,

If you're actually viewing the UI, then it will hammer the CPU (and battery) quite intensely due to the animations, which may cause the device to warm up a bit.

Streaming over bluetooth will probably effect your battery life quite substantially, though I've not done any serious power tests yet.
