Chill out guys and be nice !

Its nice to hear another user is liking his new toy !

More common these days to read on issues, so this makes a nice balance.

Im sure you will find lots of uses for the four dashboards available.

It is advisable to either take a charger or usb cable where you work or carry a spare battery ,as this fone is really hard to put down and stop tinkering with it.

As with ALL fones the battery does suffer for many reasons, and is always going to be the bug bear of end users. We want it to last a week before charging....lol.

Learn how to tweak your settings etc to reduce battery drain.

Be VERY careful on downloading any software that is in its infancy.

The beauty of the n900 is its open source but could also be the downfall for any noob users who can make their handset suffer.
No offence intended. IMO the handset is suited for any user.

Enjoy your new toy.

Take care.

I use my n900 alot during the day and I find it to be not bad on battery life. Today, after 23 hours I still have 37% life left. Usage included 6 hours of wifi and 5 hours of mp3 playing + the usual cell usage.

I'm happy!

Im also from Oz Gold Coast, brought mine months ago off a fellow aussie that had to go back to iphone for unkown reasons.
Yep, I realise with the extra power of the N900 comes more battery usage, theres always a trade off.
So this mornings train ride was:
* configure email
* play angry birds
* watched about 15 mins of movie
All with bluetooth stereo headphones active to the device.

Come in to work and to conserve power have turned off BT and WiFi, but intermittently have enabled the GPRS connection.
After 7 hours I can still see about 70% battery, so much better than I expected.

Even my 5800 would consume battery fairly quickly when playing video and it has no where near the power of the N900.

Thats pretty good.
The 5800 would only be on par with that. In fact the battery meter on the 5800 seems unreliable.
Ie, after 12 hours it would still show full battery, but then reboot it, and it would show 40%.

Can anyone tell me where the f'n. "start a new thread/topic" link is on this f'n website. Why are you making it so hard to find? It should be right at the top of the f'n page and very obvious.

I've shown a few people at work, including iPhone users.
The biggest jaw droppesr are:
* the Task Manager with the real time updating mini views
* it plays Divx/AVI's standard
* the desktops with real time widgets

I can feel the jealousy oozing.

Well, you can post a new thread in a specific forum, not in New Posts or Search for instance...

Yes, I think it is good showing too.

For the record, I use the useful application called Battery Graph.

Also, my wifi power is set at 100mw, I haven't tried the 10mw setting, that would save even more power.
