When the connection arrows go gray that essentially puts your phone in a "listening" mode. That is, only a few things will activate your connection. For example, if you start PIE then a connection will be established. If you have a program that is set to grab data from the net automatically (e.g., WeatherPanel) then the connection will be made.
Actively turning off your connection will not save on battery life. Your phone is designed to optimize battery performance regarding data connections.
You can do more to conserve/extend battery life by dimming your screen and/or turning off your keyboard.
