For a "real look", LOL... so you're saying we're all lying when we say our N900's are lasting us 1+ day's on a single battery charge...

Got my phone Tuesday, let it recharge for 12 hours, used the guide http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=35907
Didn't recharge it till last night... I can guarantee you they probably didn't use steps to help conserve battery life like, lowering the brightness, using shortcuts instead of widgets and changing email, weather, etc to update every hour instead of push.

I'm sure some people are having issues with the battery, but the majority of us who have posted about our use are loving it just how long it lasts.
