Unattributed Quotes
The page contains an abundance of unattributed quotes. While I don't think we need to go Wikipedia-style "Citation Needed" happy in the maemo.org wiki, the sheer number of unattributed quotes in this particular article feels odd. Can anyone find sources for these quotes? --sjgadsby 13:13, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
Battery type
> The tablets use lithium-ion batteries
They actually use lithium polymer batteries (advantages and disadvantages), specifically the BP-5L (770, N800) and BP-4L (N810).
- It's a wiki, feel free to fix it yourself. ;) Also, remember to sign your comments! ~~~~ GeneralAntilles 04:20, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
- Did some quick research and its actually Lithium-ion polymer so its just a variant of Li-ion and they are so similar it is probably not worth the distinction in this article. The N900 is now using Li-Ion BL-5J --cas07 21:54, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

Deep-Cycling
I've never fully understood this, and the article is making it worse:
"discharge the battery from time to time by leaving the product switched on until it turns itself off." (which I think fits the definition of deep-cycling) vs. "Lithium-ion batteries should never be "deep-cycled" like Ni-Cd batteries"
So, which one is true?
