shettj,
Interesting post. I'm sitting 3mA above you at every test condition (except screen off - I don't do that one).
My standard "floor" (your Normal Mode, Backlight off) has remained at 37 mA from WM5AKU3.5 through the 1st WM6 kitchen and now the 3rd WM6 kitchen. I never implemented the power management tweaks on the first two, and they're supposed to be in this Rev 3 kitchen. I get the feeling they have no effect on the bottom-line constant draw anyway.
Regarding backlight, I use the following current draw estimates from previous measurements
- BL full on adds 45 mA
- BL on at lowest setting is actually 1/3 pwr ~15mA
- Each upward increment adds 3 mA

I've been skeptical of drawing significant conclusions about differences between phones based on acbpowermeter readings. Still if enough users post values for this idle number, we might get a better feel for what to expect.
