Maintaining a TCP/IP connection drains the battery; so things like IM accounts are the antithesis of long battery life. Some protocols are also "thirstier" than others. It's a shame, because one of the advantages of Maemo 5 is its design to be always connected. Unfortunately, that isn't conducive to multi-day battery life. Some of the other power (limited QA, mainstream Linux userland, full multitasking) also makes it very easy for software (including Nokia's) to accidentally drain the battery by not being well written, not using the heartbeat functionality and not stopping doing things when not in the foreground.
