I was noticing that the battery on the n900, the BL-5J 1320mAh, appears to be a step down from the BP-4L battery in the n810, which has 1500mAh. My n810's battery was always dying, so I'm concerned about all day usage of the n900. I'm hoping that the n900 will use power more efficiently or something. I read that the new TI OMAP 3430 processor speed steps, so that could be an example of how a smaller batter can last longer...

Anyone have any thoughts on this?
My thoughts is to compare it against Iphone 3gs(i know) battery.
Since the 3gs is almost identically hardware wise it should give a good comparison. (http://www.reddit.com/r/technology/c..._side_by_side/)
The Iphone 3Gs has a battery with 1219 mAh, a little less than the n900.
I have read in mac forums about this and it seems alot of people manage at least 1 day with normal usage, and some even with high usage. So i hope the n900 with its higher resolution will have about the same battery life.

Just my thoughts.
