Running that display and with that battery capacity I can tell this will struggle to last me a day, but I've charged my mobiles every night for several years now.

Let's take this apart. We have three pieces of information here: 1, +, and day. Clearly "day" tells us the unit the "1", then, tells us that we how many of said unit we have, and, finally, the "+" seems to tells us we also have an indeterminate fraction of additional units.
So, roughly translated, it appears to me "a day or more".
Guess we'll have to wait and see.

Traditionally I've believed in seperate items, with seperate batteries, that do each job well. So if my n800's battery runs out of juice then I can still make calls with my cheapo phone. And likewise for other things.
The N900 will be my first smartphone (I've only used free cheapo phones for now). And knowing how I tend to run the battery down on the n800 (though the battery is also on its way out..also why I'm looking at the n900) I'm worried I'll get into a situation where I'll drain it and be left phoneless lol. Which... I rarely make social calls with it (calling just to talk). I usually have a purpose behind it (where are you so we can meet up, or I am coming home on the Metro can you pick me up,etc..)
If only Metro would somehow create a train that lets us tap into those 750 volts they got running through the 3rd rail.. =P

Nominal output voltage 5 Vdc
Maximum charging current 0.5 A
Would that be enough to power the N900? (2.5W max?)

I have a spare BP-4L for the E71 in my condom pocket, not really an issue.

I mean, couldn't they have got rid of the space for the stylus to try and squeeze a larger battery

Your right about the stylus, its huge.
Surely though its not the device size that matters but the battery size, being small has its benefits as ive explained.
If you want a small powerful device, your just gonna to have to except that its not going to last long on current battery technology. No company today can offer you all day power use, its sad but thats life. Suck it up, carry a spare.

We would need for someone to make a new back cover, keeping all the functional stuff but with 1-2mm battery covering almost all it's surface adding 2-3 times the capacity! (and a back able to solar charge it? :P)

Since the N900 hardware is somewhat similar to Iphone 3GS, I should hope it can at least match the iphones battery times.
