Remember that cells aren't the only thing that determine a battery's longevity. The original MSI Wind lasted about 5.5 hours, the Samsung N110 lasted above 8, the Toshiba mini NB205 lasted almost 9.5. All 6 cell batteries, but some with different capacities and different drivers and energy saving software behind them.

So I have no trouble grokking a 16 cell battery not lasting much longer than the 6 cell on your NC10. Depends on capacity and drivers. If you want to call Nokia a bunch of liars, you go right ahead. But save the condescension for someone else.

“…The Booklet 3G battery design stems from a Nokia 1000 mAh mobile phone battery. Building around this as a power source, the firm created a slim-line 16-cell removable battery that has been benchmarked at 12 hours usage. However we were told by one of Nokia's design team that it's more realistic to see around 8 to 9.5 hours of actual battery life over an average working day.” -The Inquirer – http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/review/1532…

My Samsung NC10 provides five to six hours with 6-cell, so Nokia's fake 16 cell should last longer in most buyers minds. But really you only get the 25% more…so yeah….again I think not.
