It’s not just nokia, all modern powerful smartphones have a similar issue.

if you don’t touch them (except for receiving a call) the battery lasts for ages, but their capabilities just mean you use them a lot lot more.

3G in particular is worse for battery than wifi.

I have a N900 and on wifi it seems to last the day with some reasonable usage. That’s not at all bad & no worse (probably better) than my N96.

In future I agree OLED would help, and personally I’d take a minor 1-2mm hit on thickness (even to the N900s already large size) to accomodate a larger battery.

I’ll certainly be looking at this mugen option & then deciding whether to get a spare regular battery or this one.

One nice feature is the micro USB charging — these cables etc are becoming more popular making charging at home or in the office easier.

You would think nokia would have sorted these battery life problems out by now

The N900 is definetly the best phone i have owne but the battery life makes it almost impractical. i would go for a bigger battery if i can locate in the UK.

Yea I would like a larger battery, if they put in a 1800mah battery in there and mayb an OLED screen for battery life improvements the phone would have been perfect to me. Easily would have forked out an extra 50 quid for it and if your gonna buy this phone compared to most other touch smartphones out on the market your not going to be to shallow about the design.
