The more devices use the same battery the better. Just sticking a larger capacity battery in is a none-solution when manufacturing a new device. The fact they stick with the same battery encourages improvements in power management rather than being lazy.
For me if they ever made some 2000mah new battery type is better then using a low battery (btw, when Nokia is making a battery they reuse it into their other devices so this type of battery will still be available).
I was having some hope in the begging that n900 using at lest BP-4L battery (1500mah).

1700mah = http://cgi.ebay.com/1700mAh-BL-5J-Ba...item4a98ccf3c5
@Darkshine:
If thats the only thing that concerns you then you shouldn't worry.
Personally , I would be scared to death of the (BoO000Ooom#!).
For now, I will keep my eyes on the extended battery reviews.

maybe....badabing bada BOOM
will probably arrive before my N900 LOL
Of course the proof is in the pudding, I'm not worried about it damaging my phone, will report once it arrives.

@mikec:
I will definitely be waiting for your review
(Just a friendly reminder, Remember to use the original battery for at lest 1.5 week and the same for the other one (Unless it's really bad))

Very interested to see how those batteries last in comparison with the standard...I'm used to 4-5 days with moderate usage on my last phone!
I would be more pissed if they had designed a battery ONLY for the N900 then in 12 months stop manufacturing it because the successor to the N900 has come out.
