Battery Life - On my initial charge, the phone lasted 4.5 hours. Now on my 5th charge, the phone was able to last 36 hours with the following usage: 1 hour of talking on the phone, sending/receiving 8 SMS, 1 hour of watching Youtube over T-Mobile EDGE, 15 mins of mp3 listening using headphones, snapping 10 pictures with flash on, shooting a quick 1 min video, and 1 hour of listening to mp3s via dual speakers and then the phone died out.

I think I know why the videos on youtube are perceived to have lower quality in comparison to the iphone and desktop. Are you watching the videos in full screen? Since the resolution is higher, watching it in full screen will stretch the video more than the iphone. Since you mentioned that higher quality videos are fine, higher quality videos are basically higher resolution videos. The higher resolution will mean the video is stretched less when played full screen. As for desktop computers, the monitor is placed much further away than you holding onto your phone.

Folks, adjust the browser cache to 40mb and play Flash video in full-screen mode. Almost all videos have a full-screen button at the bottom right corner. You will need the stylus to activate it (unless you have pin fingers), but the videos play smoother and in higher res.
When embedded, the content is in lower resolution and zooming will only make it look worse.

When did you charge your battery, did you wait till the battery was completely dead, or did you start charging it when it was just low?

Also, avoid leaving your NIT in a hot vehicle, and it is best to store spare batteries in a cool place.

lithium-ion batterys shouldn't be completely drained, it reduces the life of the battery.
can anyone else confirm increasing browser cache to 40mb makes youtube videos play like they would on a iphone?

If you are in zoutube and you start typing something it will search through the videos. Just does not seem to have a next page. Or maby the ones I have searched for all fit on one page.

Yep. I can confirm that microb flash player uses bad quality setting or flash/display drivers are not very well optimized. Comparing zoutube, microb and my computer screen (1024x768) with same youtube clip it looks worst on microb and then zoutube and then no pixelation on my 1024x768 win xp sp3 flash 10. It looks like there is no smoothing or anti-aliasing on microb. Especially text is quite terrible. I do not have time right now but if someone wants pictures with big red boxes showing the "problem", i can do that.
So whoever says everything is fine is in some sort of self denial or needs new glasses or maybe has never ever seen flash on windows. Just kidding :P

Perhaps in the future the N900 will Flash 10 with hardware accelerated video support. That will make the N900 fly when it comes to playing those HD videos.
