How do you do that?

Turn off 3G in the options, reduce the display brightness, and don't leave things like wi-fi and Bluetooth switched on when they're not needed.

yeah that about finishes this thread. Basic things which do save the battery a lot so that its useable

btw to turn 3g off afaik its by going to menu > settings > phone > network > network mode, change it to GSM

surely that defeats the point of having it lol , well i got to say i know that my n95 is no exception to the rules and battery life is pants , but i have made that i am near a recharge thoughout the day and dont want to turn off 3g as i work for t-mobile and the 3g coverage in work is top balls , also that they have turned the 3g signal on in my home area so that pretty cool hence the phone is not searching for 3g all the time.
would be nice to know some better tips for battery life soon though i am going on holidays and will need all the battery life whilst i am out and about e.g taking pics and videos and stuff of the children ,
