In our review I said: "I'd pay for an "extended battery" that can be attached to it as a "backpack". I don't care if it makes the device a bit thicker". Over here, another user tells how he switched back to a Nokia 770 because of his perceived better battery life: "I find the Nokia 770 battery more durable than the N800 by leaps and bounds… I don’t know if it was just a problem with my N800 unit or if Maemo 2007 sucks more power (I had the auto connect Wi-Fi off if you wonder). I can browse the web 4 hours non-stop, twice the time that my first tablet did.". And finally in the review of the Nokia GPS "Navigation Kit" for the N800, over here, the reviewer says: " Additionally, the N800's battery life will be much, much shorter than that of a typical hand-held GPS, which can go all day."

as a nokia n800 user i couldn't say that it's battery is really weak. yes, i don't use gps and automatic wifi or bluetooth connecting and i also haven't ever seen nokia n770 in work, so i can't objectively compare their wirking time limits, but i think that 4-5 hours with wifi enabled is very and very good.
yes, i can suppose, that nokia n770 has bigger worktime than it's sucessor, but i clearly understand that it's not the battery but some software fault. and instead of buying this terrible physical extension(that'll made large nokia n800 even bigger) for about $26 it would be better to find some critical software that eats too much energy...
