Here this guy says when unboxing his N900 its a 1500MAH but it clearly shows BL-5J.
If you look closely, you can see 1350mAh on the battery when he shows it to the camera.

I think that all I could want is two extra batteries (or one) and a charging dock for the two and the phone. Then if I don't think it'll last me the day, I'll bring a battery a long.
That plus a car charger = power almost anywhere and a spare for the worst case scenario

I can manage a day with normal usage, but I can't handle a day with very hardcore usage and 2 batteries. That's too much.

Saturday was the perfect example. I had lunch at my brothers house, leaving my phone off the plug at 8:30 AM (in GPRS mode, mind you), and after lunch I went to a friends house. After that I went to the movies with some other friends, and then I went out dancing... Arriving at home at 4:30 AM and 5% battery life on my blackberry. I'm a very hardcore user
I don't expect to do that on the N900, because I know it won't. But I should be able to get at least 6-7 hours of hardcore use at a time.

About battery life:
I've used N900 proto now over one month.
The best time I have achieved is 36 and half hours with light use (2G on and wlan on about 5 hours). In normal business use the battery holds about 12-15 hours. Sometimes the battery drains in 4 hours and in that case the device is very warm. The same happened with E90 and E75. I guess it has something to do with 3G handshaking loop?

In your honest & humble opinion, do you think the N900 has GOOD battery life :S? And what's in normal business use for you?
And congrats on the N900 prototype
You're the envy of the majority of the people here.

- it includes an adapter to reuse existing nokia adapters.
- there are already various MicroUSB car adapters on the market

All times are GMT. The time now is 06:44.
A typical day is GPS tracking via sportstracker for around an hour as I cycle to and from work, about a 1-1.5hours streaming from lastfm, half hour browsing, an hour miscellaneous screen-on use (gaming/document viewing/GPS use/Fring etc/taking pictures or video/ watching video), continuous push email, and the usual telephony stuff.
As things stand I doubt the N900 will be up to my current usage, let alone improving things so that I don't need to cut back on browsing/gaming in order to get through a day...
