During the first days I used the N900 a lot, including browsing the
web, instant messaging, e-mail, etc. The battery didn't last much more
than a day, so I had to recharge it everyday at night.

But then I wanted to compare its battery life with that of my old
phone, so I started using it in a more conservative way: phone calls,
text messages, calendar, alarm clock and occasionally as a media
player. I also used the camera to take some pictures here and there
and I connected to the Internet a few times to read my e-mail or check
a couple of websites, but only for a 2-3 minutes each time.

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.
