Re: N900 battery duration
All, for what it is worth. battery charge duration is appearing as an issue with the Motorola Droid as well. I have started using a Droid and I notice that I need to charge it every night, and, if I fail to do that, then the next day it runs low on battery charge. Here is the url to some advice posted on the Verizon Wireless www site concerning battery duration related issues: http://search.vzw.com/?do=viewdocid=27662 Of course the Verizon Wireless Droid uses EVDO for Internet access which may be more or less power efficient than HSDPA as implemented on the N900, I am not sure. One think I like about the Droid is that there is a way for the user to be informed of WHAT is consuming the power on the device in each of 9 categories including Display Voice Calls Phone Idle Wi-Fi Cell Standby Browser Android System Bluetooth Android OS Best Regards, John Holmblad Acadia Secure Networks, LLC * * Alberto Garcia wrote: On Fri, Oct 16, 2009 at 10:48:27AM +0200, Andrea Grandi wrote: after some days using the N900 (with already lot of charge/discharge cicles) I'd like to compare my battery duration with other people.

I charged the N900 on Wednesday night, and it's almost exhausted now, so it lasted for ~4 days, which is quite good, I think, to get an idea.

Re: N900 battery duration
Any smartphone with a fair amount use is going to require charging everyday. If I'm really working it, I can kill mine in a couple hours. I have a charger in my car, at my desk at work and at home, so it's never that much of an issue. On Sat, Nov 28, 2009 at 3:03 PM, John B.

And I would need to cancel my order and consider buying something else (like a Pandora, Netwalker, or M1/M2). I too would like to see full keyboard support in Maemo 5. But why the threats to buy a competing device? Are you hoping to scare someone into fixing this? -- enthusiast, n.
