The phone itself is very good, after playing with it for a while you realise how personalised you can make it. The browser on it is the best on any phone i've seen or used as well including the iPhone (im using it just now). If the battery was even semi decent it would be spot on. | |

Nokia phones for a year or 2 (N95 onwards) have had terrible battery life, its because the technology with batteries is not keeping up with phones, so the cost of decent batteries for phones is too much for them to bother | |

It depends how you use the phone really, you can download an app to select which mode the phone connects to the network (3.5g, 2g, etc) and if you run it in 2g mode when you dont need an internet connection it improves battery life considerably. On a brighter note there is a new app avaliable that allows you to stream TV channels from all over the world which is pretty cool...UK only has one channel at the mo and thats BBC Yorkshire though :lol: | |

Can you turn the brightness of the screen down? I had my iphone on full beam all the time and it would last nearly a day but since i've reduced it, it lasts a bit better | |

That is fucking ridiculous. I was considering one, but I work 12 hour shifts and would prefer a phone that would last a day :| | |

well, as much as i love this N900, the battery life is really really starting to annoy me, the quoted figures are no where near accurate and for example yesterday it was fully charged in the morning, used it to listen to some songs and go online to check google maps, the battery was half gone within 2 hours! the battery was then completely dead after another 3 hours. |
