I am very much impressed with the multitasking. I was streaming bbc live earlier and browsing at the same time. The n900 is much like a computer to me. At only £349 (thanks to discount coupons), this is quite a bargain. I cant wait to startmcranking out apps for this black BEAST

Thank you so much for calling me a liar. I hate to disabuse you of your delusion that everyone must be unhappy because you are, but my n900 is just fine. Still working exactly as I expected it to, and not a single thing has gone wrong.

Remember to take into account signal strength for 3G in terms of battery drain. One of the rooms where I work will kill my N95 8GB if it has Fring on in ~5 hours where it normally lasts 12 hours....
But in terms of my N900, I've got the following widgets activated:
Calendar
Facebook
RSS
Weather
Location
CPU and Mem
Media and Google (but I don't think they suck power)
Got mail via exchange and imap to ovi with default settings and Skype.
Light usage* over the course of the day from 7am till nearly 12.00am and I had a sliver of red left on the battery bar
*Very little web browsing, mostly checking my exchange mail when I was away from the desk. Actually mostly I was fiddling with it coz it my new baby and showing it off to people.

That is wild. I disable all apps using task killer on Droid, but some still pop back up. Been using Flash a lot on the N900, so that is probably the difference. Droid does not have to deal with it.
I got rid of widgets, since they seem an unnecessary battery drain. I prefer the app shortcuts. Use em' when you need em' and less power drain.
