youve basicially got to turn off everything that makes the N900 whats it is, GPS, 3G, WI-FI, WIDGETS, HOME SCREENS, ETC
i never understood the N900's overall size in relation to its battery when compared to other devices

You could try the Smart Powersaving hack. I get 2-2.5 days of battery life running e-mail all the time, surfing the net occasionally, watching a few short videos, listening to podcasts,... Beware of the risks however: Some people report minor graphical glitches after using the patch, few even experience sudden reboots. For me these issues never materialized, but your mileage may vary.

As root you can do in X-Terminal:
This will make the N900 write less to the swap partition (it will still swap out when needed though, so no worries), resulting in less operations on the flash disk resulting in a more responsive device with longer battery life time.
IMHO it's more than just a placebo.
Code:
echo 30 >/proc/sys/vm/swappiness
IMHO it's more than just a placebo.

the only time i notice battery drain is when you keep ur messenger service online, like gtalk or yahoo or skype. i tried to keep 2 accounts online and my device couldn't last more than 8hrs, without that it runs 2 days with single charge.

Is there a shortcut to disable 3G phone use or do I need to go to settings everytime I want to use a non wifi data connection? I used the n900 for several weeks without a simcard and got a battery life of aprox 5 days with some Wifi and gps use. No I have the sim installed and only get 20 hours max on it. This is without wifi or gsp, an max 10 min calls and 5 texts. So I assume it has something to do with the phone app being active. I checked the cpu and it is steady at 2.1% and Xorg using 1.7.

There is a 3G / GSM mode selection applet for that.
