I have also improved my significantly buy puting my email on 8 to 24 hours notification. Actually, if I could find it I would just turn the notification for email off and I can check it as I want to. I don't need to see each email as it comes in---very nice feature but don't need it on all the time.
Also, keep my bluetooth off until I need to use it.

I am sure there are others too as I go along.

Thanks,
Bob

Not for people who sleep irregular hours. I'm just as likely to be up at 3 a.m. and asleep at 3 p.m. Next week it will be different.

1. remove the overclock - it will use battery

2. use the std media player, it has optimisations to use the hardware facilities that someplayer may not have

3. turn off GPS, Bluetooth, FM transmitter, WIFI, 3G (turn on 2G), and use wired headphones.

4. turn off IM chat (facebook, gtalk, skype, etc)

5. shorten the length of time the display stays lit, and the brightness level

Do not leave browser windows open - this is a big drain in my experience, close them down soon as you are finished

Get a bigger battery. A car battery in a rucksak with a car charger connected will make a useful extra battery for your phone, and will also give it a cool retro look of early cellphones.

These are all valid tips, but one thing I totally can not comprehend is Bluetooth (same with android devices BTW).

Why is my Symbian S60 Nokia has BT on 24x7 and battery lasts for many days, and N900 or other modern smartphone need BT off to conserve energy. Is BT designed with more power requirement these days, or what's up?

Perhaps it has more to do with the mobile network configuration than the device itself. Is the signal level the same on 2G as in 3G? Since the physical frequencies used to communicate are different it might have to do with the terrain or network set up. My N900 lasts way longer now as I have first turned off "switch to wifi when available" and also changed UMTS (3G) to GSM (2G) mode.
