Edit - Not sure whilst charging is possible?
Try here http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...ery+percentage
Also, i think the picture at the top is missing the percentage number
- bar's just aren't good enough for some!
edit edit! - now I'm confused that top pic has the bars at the bottom, and top, and the percentage that i didn't' notice earlier, sorry!
But wayyyy to much!
Just needs one small percentage like at the top surely? - makes the bottom 5 bars redundant.

The Bottom is not the accu. It's the Screen illumination.

I agree, this is a good idea. because the graphic battery is not precise enough to know how much battery left we've got, especially when the battery is low.

the added percentage at the top is the only thing I'd like to see added

Why not add a continuous horizontal bar behind the text in the battery display in the first post? This is commonly done elsewhere. A continuous bar would graphically represent the percentage more precisely than the current discrete (limited resolution vertical) display. Some folks like numbers, some like pictures. I suggest giving both.

I like the second picture - looks good!
Currently the only information display is a rough iconised / graphical representation of the battery within the status bar and status menu (touch/click the status bar). It would be nice to have some for of percentage displayed somewhere in the UI
I've added a possible solution, feel free to add your own
thanks

This is what it could look like:
Edit: just updated the graphical representation of the percentage on my proposed screenshots to make it all a little better to understand
