Double post if you want but I'm only going to thankyou once!

Glad to hear this, though. There's some alarmist stuff out there.

Somebody's hours are other people's days...

I think that there should be a software written, to be run on your current device, leave it for a few days to record your usage pattern and then estimate how much the new X device would last...

Well... Yes and No. WLan is the most economic way for connecting; the battery drains 4-5 times quicker if you use mobile internet instead of WLan. For example, HTC Hero lasts 40 hours in WLan environment and only 4-5 hours on a mobile internet connection (good coverage). E71 has far better battery life, but the difference between battery life using wlan only and mobile internet only is the same.

Yes that would be great.

That's why I would consider the MiFi with a 24h+ powerpack a great idea

MickyFin just posted on twitter this
"Been out in the real world with the N900 today, took some sample videos, inc macro, gps usage interesting, battery half depleated in 9 hours"
so battery is no concern to me as it seems to have improved a lot since early reports and its still not final software yet

Pity we don't know if his real world means connected to wifi or 3G-data. If its no wifi and not edge then yes its pretty acceptable. But also it assumes the battery indicator is a true percentage where the last few bars last as long as the first few bars.

If it's like on N800, N810 and E75, in my experience the first top bar is 50 percent of battery, or when the meter thinks there's 50 percent left.

Talking about battery, what should be a good / cheap place to buy _real_ BL-5J batteries?
eBay seems to be full of Chinese garbage...
