I think i will be fine, i mean...i use my device only during the day. When i go to sleep (usually midnight-9am), it's on, but idle, no tasks running, nothing, so it can "sleep" (btw, does the N900 support some kind of sleep mode?) and save energy. When I wake up, i charge it for 1 hour and then i go off somewhere, using the device from that point (10am - 10pm) - 12 active hours, doing random things - on daily basis: browsing, im, music, videos, games, calls, sms + when i need to: gps, pictures, fm, documents... That being said, i think i will be very happy.

Some people want continuous on-line usage with im and skype etc.
I think for me it would be enough if the device could connect once in hour to check my e-mail. So what I mean, I don't even want to be connected 24/7. People will be pitying me if I would be all the time available at msn.

For the record, "being online all day" is hardly what I'd consider active use, and you can seriously expect a few days of battery life doing only that.
The kind of "active use" I mean is "calculating decimals of Pi", or playing fullscreen 3D games without sleep.

From what people say about the N900, they're getting 3-4 hours of the screen being on. I doubt with what you call "days" of online chatting will surpass more than 4-5 hours :P of continuous talking (on gprs)

Are you serious?
Of course, you're not going to keep the screen nor the processor 24h on while "chatting". You do pauses, and that's were all those "power saving schmigangs" work.

Now that we have 300 more N900s out in the wild, how's the battery life
from the summit people said that if you aren't using it, it doesn't drain very much. How about those that are going clickity click all day at the summit on the n900 :P? How's the battery life now with a near shipment n900.

If the N900 ships with a car charger (one that plugs into a cigarette jack basically) then I'm all set as I'll just keep it in my Jeep and charge it like I currently do my n800
