Hi All,
I just got my n800 this week and have been busy reading and installing stuff to get it "just so".
One of my concerns is the battery performance, and just wondered if others could post their experience's.
It took me a day to find "offline mode" and I found that with a continuous wifi connection (adhoc mode, if that makes a difference) installing and playing with apps I only got a little over 1hrs usage (quiet disappointing).
I found "offline mode" and now I get the battery meter reporting 6hr (much better) and was able to quiet easily watch a 1hr video in mplayer and the meter only dropped a little.
I've read posts on hear of people streaming mp3s, but surely they only can do that for a short period of time? How are others using their n800, online/offline like me or tethered to a power-supply, or perhaps I need a pocket full of batteries?
If you could suggest some advise, I'd appreciate it
Cheers,
Nick

thanks for the feedback.
I have in-fact been relying on the battery gauge, and when it has been hitting <1hr I've felt the need to jack in the power. (worried about an n800 equivalent of an FSCK happening)
Upto 3hrs wifi sounds very promising, I think I might run a full charge overnight, and then time how long the batter lasts tomorrow
What's the 4AA charger ? Can I use "any" nokia add-ons ? The pin on the n800 charger is smaller than all my other phone (nokia 6230) ones, is this new pin n800 specific or do some of the newer phones have it ?
