You do realize that power cycling pretty much nukes your battery, right? One power cycle is equivalent to about 2 days of idle time.

It may be my imagination, but after installing OS2008, the battery life seems shorter than with OS2007.
Kernel has a dodgy cpufreq in OS2008 to switch the speeds. Bad. (Well the dodgy cpufreq is anyway)

If I don't turn my new N810 off I get less than a few hours of battery life with no apps running. Switching off extends that to a day and a half.

Nokia have told me the battery life on my N810 is normal. I cannot understand why you may be getting more than myself but I have never been able to get more than I have in the month I have had my unit.

If you're getting significantly less than that, then something is wrong. Maybe one of your cards is corrupted and metalayer-crawler or something is choking out. Maybe you have some process of some sort cooking the CPU.
There are a number of things that can go wrong, but the battery life you're describing is highly atypical.
Personally, I'd start by reformating the internal card.

But I noticed that out in the woods, when hijacking an open wlan with a weak signal, battery life is definitely shorter then.

Battery life aside, does anyone know if there is a way to cause the N800 to shut off completely after an inactivity timeout?
It may be my imagination, but after installing OS2008, the battery life seems shorter than with OS2007.
That's why I'd like the N800 to turn itself completely off after an activity period.
