nokia-n-900If you have been worrying about the battery life of the N900, let me assure you that you are in safe hands when it comes to power management of Maemo 5 and N900. Being powered by the same BL-5J battery that powers some of the most popular Nokia devices like the 5800 XpressMusic, battery life of N900 is something that has always bothered me.

Having played around with 5800 for almost a year now,  I know that the battery drains at an alarming rate when one uses 3G and with the features onboard the N900, I just can’t imagine using N900 sans the 3G.  I was hoping that Nokia would go for a higher capacity battery for there flagship device the N900 but Nokia’s strategies continue to baffle me! Even their previous flagship device N97 had a bigger 1500 mAh battery (BP-4L). However looks like the folks at Nokia Conversations are aware of these battery woes of N900 and have released this latest N900 Explored video, which you guys can catch after the break.

As much this video is reassuring, I still doubt the battery life of N900. All they show in the above video is that they were able to take 231 shots of still photographs. If you have used a smartphone, you would know that the functions that drain the battery are 3G and Wi-Fi, apart from video recording and ofcourse actual voice calls. What Nokia Conversations is showing is just still photograph battery life and am sorry, I won’t fall for the bait.

I will wait for my N900 to give a test ride of battery life myself before giving a verdict on this. Till then sit back and enjoy the N900 videos.
