That's definitely weird. I don't get 10 days between charges, but then my N800 is never idle for 10 days at a time. I commonly run 3 days between charges, though, and I'm a fairly active user. > I have two theories why at this point.

If you don't get a more helpful response, I would run with a stock fs and no applications installed for a day (no fun, but an important troubleshooting step if you're not sure where the problem lies). If you still have low standby life in offline/screenlocked mode then you definitely have hardware issues. If not, then you can start introducing variables in a controlled way until you pin down the rogue config/app that's killing your battery life. Please report back so others can learn as well.
