Testresults IM:
1. Skype idle 8h on 2G: Battery 97% down to 82% = 15% in 8h = 1,875% per hour.
2. Skype idle 8h on 3G: Battery 95% down to 79% = 15% in 8h = 1,875% per hour.
3. MSN Idle 9h on 2G: Battery 97% down to 74% = 23% in 8h = 2,555% per hour.
4. MSN idle 8h on 3G: Battery 96% down to 55% = 41% in 8h = 5,125% per hour.

Also Idle with nothing online:
8h on 2G: Battery 96% down to 89% = 7% in 8h = 0,875% per hour.

MSN Messenger eats your battery! But its reasonable on 2G.

i was just curious wich program uses less battery .. cuz we dont have push like Whatsapp or something..
it isn't the program (as I suspected), it is the protocol MSN uses. It effectively kills battery compared for example to jabber.

e: you could try using jabber with msn gateway.

(this is for iChat but should apply to n900 too)

I tested Jabber with msn gateway. Started it after charging completed.
Jabber Idle 9,5h on 2G: Battery 96% down to 86% = 10% in 9,5h = 1,052% per hour. (that was "lshal | grep battery")
But bq27200.sh showed down from 100% to 94% = 6%, thats 0,631% per hour.

It is not just the protocol.. It is the amount of activity you have. If you have lots of friends in MSN and only few in skype, MSN will eat more battery as your friends log in/log out/change status.

You are right, because trough day it dropped more faster. I have like 50 friends in msn.
And usually without IM battery drops to 50%.
