s33, 13 Aug 2010ARE THESE FOR REAL??? 0600-0800 + 1800-2300=7hrs on 3G ... moreAirplane mode while on wifi....as I'm in office...and my office is away from home on roaming.

and even connected on wifi, I'm not browsing "all the time"....is work hours.

Whatever, can you tell me why you feel so reluctant to charge the phone twice a day? What seems to be the problem?

            is it in 3G mode alwys??

            0600-0800, then 1800-2300

            using live wallpapers??

            no

            brightness level max??

            medium

            how long have u been using wifi on a daily basis?

            0800-1800

            any background process running all the time??

            probably some, but unlike other Android phones I'm using running on 1.5, I never need to install / use task killer on my Milestone to free up RAM.

            if you don't have access to power via USB, just get an extra battery and charger. Afterall, if you drive a sports car / SUV, you probably can't expect the same fuel economy as a compact car.

                          again, if you want such "fast" response, the expense is the battery life, and personally I don't charge it twice a day is really that big a deal.

                          but then if battery life is your "life", may I sugget one of the smartphones from Philips...you will get longer battery life than your N900

                                When recharge charge it without the multimedia station and the battery last much longer.

                                      or did u mean 8am-11pm?

                                      even if its giving me from 8am-11pm then i think its very low.
                                      my present n900 also gives me around 13hrs

                                      damn i thot milestone had a better battery
                                      Now am hving second thoughts of buying it..

                                      But i really like it

                                      any one have a detailed description on the battery usage and life?

I can only speculate if you start to use your phone around 0800, with such usage, you probably cannot get through til 1100 without one full recharge.

                                        I don't know where you live, though I believe demo units should be available and I'd suggest you try a demo unit and see how fast the phone can run, then you should understand why, especially given its 3.7in screen (larger than your N900 & iphone), would provide you better visibility...and of course at the expense of battery power.
