The battery definitely drains significantly faster with (1) 3G and (2) heavy photography use.

Thanks!
That was piece of cake. No problem at all to achieve 15 hours with 3G use on whole time. Actually there is 3/4 of battery left. Of course I was in the region where there was good coverage of 3G.
If there is poor coverage then the battery drains very fast.

I'm very satisfied of the battery life with moderate use. The best result for me have been 60 hours. I have used all the features and the working days have been normal.

In heavy use I haven't seen any difference with earlier firmware versions. If I see a long movie and wlan continuously on then the battery holds 4 to 5 hours. In normal quite heavy use it holds easily 15 hours which is usually enough for me, cos I charge the battery every night anyway.
I'm curious wheter you connected to the GSM cellular network? and did you make calls? or was it idle and used as a tablet?

Was this usage with calls over 3g? or idle?

Hope to hear from you, gracias.

Hey guys,
i was wondering if any of you knows how long battery lifetime of n900 is...do you think it could handle playing like two hours of video or audio, some web browsing and still last entire day?

Thanks, Tomas Herman

That’s one thing that I’m really curious too.
Can any of the 300 lucky ones speak?
I’ve searched but didn’t find no topic related.

i'm iphone3g's user unfortunately i'm not satisfied with the battery, mostly the battery can last about 9 or 10hrs, if the n900 can last about the same, its useless for me.

Since the 3gs is almost identically hardware wise it should give a good comparison. (http://www.reddit.com/r/technology/c..._side_by_side/)
The Iphone 3Gs has a battery with 1219 mAh, a little less than the n900.
I have read in mac forums about this and it seems alot of people manage at least 1 day with normal usage, and some even with high usage. So i hope the n900 with its higher resolution will have about the same battery life.

Just my thoughts.
