Sorry for your problems, but some reason image where dude says wide smile on his face and expression full of enthusiasm "always connected you know man!" and he has N900 connected to charger just came to my mind.

I've done all the recent updates, and I'm sorry but if I have to turn of functions such as wifi or 3g to get a working day out of it its going straight back to Nokia...
do you know many phones that can last much longer than 6 hours talk time on 3g?
People do not tell you to disable these functions but to use them when needed.
I think you should return your phone as you were clearly looking for something that does not exist. Not bashing you, just saying it as it looks.
Sorry

Yes battery life is a joke. I have used so many smartphones but this is one of the worst. Only the Motorla a920 faired worse... I hope Nokia and the maemo team make this top priority in the next firmware. Rant over

For me battery life improved greatly with the new firmware. Today I made two phonecalls, and frequently checked for new mails, and when I returned home after a long working day, the battery still displayed as full in the status area (12 hours after disconnecting from the charger). Amazing, I've never experienced this before.

You can leave 3G on, but expecting hours of runtime with wifi on is expecting quite a bit from a 900mah battery.

It is not 900mAh, but 1256 mAh, and I can get a bit more than 2 days of Wi-Fi + IM (skype + jabber), + 3G (no 3G data connection).
Of course, start using it, and it quickly goes down to less than a day. Much less than what the N810 had in store.

I believe there is major optimizations possible on the N900 unless its poor hardware.

Number one which is a massive problem is battery life. I bought my phone a week or two ago direct from nokia, and i wouldn' class myself as any more than a moderate user. Still, on an average day I can listen to a bit of music on the way into work, and get some usage out of it at work, and thats it.
The worst thing is during my initial excitement I persuaded a colleague to get an N900 and his phone performs worst than mine on 100% factory settings.
5his brings me on to my second issue which is the attitude on this site of 'its not a phone its a computer.' I keep seeing this on any thread describing a shortfall with the N900 and its driving me mad because its a load of crap.
