I've done some reading and as the good General explained the cpu is much more power efficient than the one in our n8x0's.
BUT
Even if we always talk about the average consumer I still seriously doubt that the average consumer will go for this... Much more we will see it in the hands of people that, like us, appreciate the beauty of a full blown linux distro in our pocket.
With users like us the race to idle will be very hard to win for any cpu
Seriously, even if the cpu is efficient we still have a giant backlighted screen and a handfull of (always on connected) apps.
I'd like to see how much time it gets on streaming video. If the optimizations are well implemented it should last at least as much as the (less efficient, bigger battery) ancestors.
To be serious if I use it seriously I don't get more than a day out of my n800 either especially tethered via bluetooth.
We'll just have to wait and see if they managed to optimize enough to account for 200 mA less and 3g consumption.

Mugen will make its usual range of extended batterys like before, if you really want longevity and dont the mind the extra bulk and weight, the Mugens are among the best.

The bad news sir is that I got your daughter pregnant…
The good news is that we were able to live stream a video of the event using my fully charged N900.

Older battery?
.
Sounds like a bench test.

Walk to station with IM and Twitter pings while streaming or downloading podcasts with bluetooth on, send a few texts, read rss feeds, emails and load a few web pages. Battery was nearly done with by the time i got to work.
Took me about 3 days to decide i need an E71.

Downloading podcasts is probablly what killed the battery.

I'm becoming more and more lazy opening my personal laptop in the evenings, since it reminds me the fact of having used the laptop at work for so many hours.

All times are GMT. The time now is 03:54.
I have used a Motorola iDEN handset exclusively for over 8 years now. With its always on TCP/IP connection battery life for even the best models is about a day and a half… You adapt very easily to making sure you plug into a nightstand charger every night. It's that "half day" that will get you. More often than not it also happens to be a most criticle day.
Because of this increased charging frequency more chargers will be sold. Adding to what Quim mentioned earlier, it would be nice if someone offered a drop in, nightstand charging station that had onboard Bose “Wave” speakers and looked more or less like a traditional clock radio.

The good news is that we were able to live stream a video of the event using my fully charged N900.
