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.<br>

All,<br>
<br>
for what it is worth. battery charge duration is appearing as an issue<br>
with the Motorola Droid as well. I have started using a Droid and I<br>
notice that I need to charge it every night, and, if I fail to do that,<br>
then the next day it runs low on battery charge. Here is the url to<br>
some advice posted on the Verizon Wireless www site concerning battery<br>
duration related issues:<br>

<br>
Of course the Verizon Wireless Droid uses EVDO for Internet access which<br>
may be more or less power efficient than HSDPA as implemented on the<br>
N900, I am not sure. One think I like about the Droid is that there is a<br>
way for the user to be informed of WHAT is consuming the power on the<br>
device in each of 9 categories including<br>
<br>
Display<br>
<br>
Voice Calls<br>
<br>
Phone Idle<br>
<br>
Wi-Fi<br>
<br>
Cell Standby<br>
<br>
Browser<br>
<br>
Android System<br>
<br>
Bluetooth<br>
<br>
Android OS<br>
<br>
