Still surprises me when I see this, my n810 stays on with wifi as and skype and built in SIP registered for about 3 days with low usage and at least a full day to day and a half with a couple of skype calls made. If it really ran out of battery in a few hours I would sell it. Try buying a new OEM battery talmage.

talmage isn't the only one having issues with n800's battery life.Maybe the issue isn't the battery but something in the n800 itself (variances due to different batches maybe?).
Reportedly the n810 is better in this regard.

@ Texrat, wow that article was amazing, it spoke volumes. Did you say you wrote that? well whom ever wrote it i say to you, well done, you should find a way to get that on a television segment or something for more ppl to see and become aware of. just from reading that would make someone want to learn more about these MIDs / NITs, thats exactly why they haven't taken off and you even go further to say how they could.

I wrote the one at tabulacrypticum. Raiden wrote the original that inspired me. Credit where it's due.

When I worked at Nokia, I blogged internally on that subject many times (I was also directly instrumental in the US launch of the N800). Trust me, I made my feelings on this topic very well known. Just hard to fight corporate agendas... : /

Anyway, thanks!
