Got my new N900 few days ago, the battery drain is horrible. Does not last even a day with moderate use. For example, today no phone calls, ~ 10 sms messages, ~ 1 Hr music on headphones, backlight @ level 1 and barely made it back home. This is unusable in its present form. How do regular users deal with this or is some crazy setting on my part?

will see the difference after at-least 10 battery cycles.

Are there any possibilities to run maemo-flasher on Windows 7 64bit?
I've installed maemo-flasher 3.5 but it crashes when I start it!?
Is there an alternative to flash the N900 to the newest firmware?

You could use a bootable Linux CD and flash it from there. I've done that when flasher refused to see the N900 on my XP system.

Do I need a special bootable version of an linux distribution? or can I download the ISO from this link: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download (Ubuntu 9.10) and simply burn the image to a cd and then boot from cd?

And does the flasher only work on ubuntu 32bit or can I also use the 64bit version?

You'll need a version that will run from CD rather than requiring installation. I'm sure the Ubuntu ones used to do that, but last time I looked I couldn't find anything to say they still do. The flasher should work in either 32 or 64 bit versions, but unless you're wanting it for another purpose as well, there's no advantage in going with the 64-bit version.

Try just running "flasher-3.5" - hopefully it's installed itself into the default path somewhere.
