I can testify that you get easily more than 2 days with device idle (and no open app misbehaving)

Screen is a drainer, so all use consumes a lot, but it easily lasts a full working day of normal use.
Actually using it, that's another matter.

There's no compass.
Anyone who said otherwise was not a trustworthy source, so, in the absence of any trustworthy information, they're wrong. And if there is, Nokia hasn't told anyone about it, nor has it turned up in any of the source code released by Nokia so far. If the N900 had a compass, why would Nokia keep it a secret?
Why do you keep asking?

For if what you say is true there must be many crappy high-end technologies then because last time I checked almost no smartphone, netbook, laptop, digicam (slr), blahblah etc etc blahblah has digital compass. Hmmm, maybe its a bit overrated.
