Question: The N9 has a slightly smaller battery than my E71. Do u guys think that the battery is more optimized for MH than Symbian ?

I'd say there is no way you will get longer battery life on the N9 than on the E71.

@scapegoat: That's something that interests me as well. Compared to Symbian... well, no. There is no smartphone OS that is as good at energy management. Add to that the much lower clock speed of the E71 and there is simply no comparison.

Now, the iphone... well, that depends heavily on a lot of factors, the way you use the phone chief among them. Don't forget that the iphone has a stunted of multitasking that helps ensure that the processor gets strained as little as possible. Compared to the N9, with its full, real time multitasking... well, if you have a metric crapton of stuff running in the background that keeps the processor running on full throttle or the wireless chips sending bits back and forth (IM on standby, for example) then expect to get to be friends with the charger. It's not too different from the N900. Mine has quite excellent battery life when I don't run apps on the background and keep the IM protocols off, but when I turn them on...

Another side is the OS itself. Being linux running native code and not a runtime like android, I expect it to be quite easy on the processor and the battery. That also depends on the way the CPU scaling is set up, and what frequencies are used besides the full 1 gigahertz. Any N950 owners have an idea about this? Along with what frequencies the CPU actually supports?

I might not be the best person to answer, as I've been having some issues with battery life on my N950 (completely discharging overnight from a full charge). I haven't had time to diagnose the problem. It could simply be a duff battery. Also, the device hasn't been through many charging cycles, as it spends most of its time connected to my desktop machine in SDK mode.

I may just keep my fb & twitter feed updates off in the events view if it means saving juice. No biggie. If the device ever gets released that is.....

Heading's a little more exciting/misleading than the actual content of the story.
But still somewhat heartening for MeeGo...

Developers interest grown for MeeGo and decreased for Symbian and WP

They're making some last minute changes to the hardware. It will have a pico projector, dog whistle, laser pointer, bottle cap opener, ultrasound location like bats have, a place on the back for refilling it with butane and a lighter, magnets on the back so it can be used stuck to your fridge and some attachments for when you stick it on vibrate (dildo, toothbrush, knife, file and etching tool).
