There is a topic on the N95 on Gathering.tweakers.net URL (Dutch): http://gathering.tweakers.net/forum/list_messages/1241661///n95

They had the following quote on battery life:

I have run some tests on three N95s all purchased at the same time and all with batteries of approx the same age and they have had approx the same usage. I have charged each of three in different ways-

A. Was charged only every night (approx 6 hours) and nothing during the day, for a week.
B. Was charged when it went flat.
C. Was charged at every opportunity, day and night.
After the week, at the next opportunity when the phones all had an end of charge fall together, they were all unplugged and left without any use at all.
A, lasted for 50.5 hours.
B, lasted for 22 hours.
C, lasted for 58 hours.

In gmail, settings, there is an accounts tab where you can add other e-mailaddresses. Gmail will read them from pop3, and put them into your gmail account with a label. that way, you can use the gmail interface for any of your e-mailaddresses.

@Arif: That one looks nice as well. It focusses on the business features and doesn’t have the more playful stuff. It would’ve satisfied my requirements actually, but on the other hand, it wouldn’t be as cool.

@Stefan: I have noticed that the gmail reader is pretty nice, but I don’t know how to make gmail read my other accounts, can it?

Also, the remark about IMAP folders in my post, ignore it, I found the ‘subscribe to folder’ option.

Just discovered the ‘direct upload to flickr’ feature which is very convenient.

for e-mail, you could open a gmail account that then fetches your e-mail. Gmail is so easily searchable that it doesnt matter that you have so many spam and automated messages, you just search for it.

I am currently looking for a smartphone and have more or less the same requirements of you and found out Nokia E51 which is just so simple yet powerful. It’s purpose is used for business, thus I would recommend you that…

By the way, there are some Symbian e-mail client applications, you can use them for IMAP, maybe?
