Okay, sorry for the late reply, but before submitting a bug, I wanted to check this behaviour further.
Over the weekend my N900 was under low, medium at best usage. I couldn't reproduce nor find the same strange power drain from the first day after the firmware update. Battery was "ok" for N900 standards and my experience.

It's just general lithium-ion battery advice. Also, slower, low-power charges are better. So the AC wall charger which puts out 1200mA an charged the N900 really fast is actually worse for its battery long-term than the day-long USB 500mA recharges. Go figure

I installed PR1.1 via OTA this morning then fully recharged and rebooted 2-3 times. I do have the browse portrait easter egg enabled bu the browse was not open/running at the time
-no wifi
- using at&t 2G
- no apps running(or in background), only xterminal, phone is pretty much idle
- configured for nokia messaging, 30 mins update
- logged into google/skpye accounts
I've been tracking my battery life over the last 7 days and today I've noticed a huge battery drain. It went from 78% - 62% free in 1.5 hours. I would usually only drain 2-3% in 1.5 hours.
My phone is completely stock, no apps installed. I was tracking the battery from 09:30 - 12:30, everything looked great
at 13:00 I noticed the red exclaimation circle telling me I'm unable to login to google IM. I left it for 15 mins and then checked battery. drained to 72%. Noticed the phone warmer than usual
I then disabled both google/skpye IM account. Noted the availability circle gone, assumed I have logged out.
30 mins later, the battery drops from 72% to 62%. I try to log in to google IM again.. no luck
- 12:30 I had 78% battery left
- 13:00 I had 72% battery left
- 13:30 I had 62% battery left
I reboot and can immediately login to google IM.
There is no change to my usage pattern or location, I can say for sure that PR1.1 or the prior minor firmware has caused this battery drain bug. Not sure if it only happens once IM accounts cannot login or something has caused the IM account unable to login and needs a reboot.
Looks like we have a new drain bug which occurs outside of wifi! horrible!
This needs to be investigated ASAP!

also, does anyone know if that statusbar load applet uses a lot of cpu cycles? i removed it 'cause i figured if it's polling once a few seconds then it's gotta drain the battery. anyone has any actual experience though?
