There have been fears that the N96 battery would not be up to the job of running such a powerful multimedia device, given that the original N95, with the same battery had these problems.

Nokia had counterd this by saying that power performance had been much improved allowing the smaller, thinner battery to be used.

Over at AllAboutSymbian, their reporter has had the use of a new N96 for a week now, and advises that throughout this time, the N96 power has not let him down. This is with a nightly charge routine.

I had a day out with it yesterday, took about 60 photos and 4 short Videos, plus surfed the net and checked email every 0.5 hour and watched a few minutes of video. The battery indicator showed 1 or 2 bars usage all day to the evening, so battery life for me does not seem to be an issue
