There's an option on the Eris which lets you turn off the "Mobile Network" , I can't find this option on the Droid , is it available?

Basically , this allows you to save (major) battery power & yet still receive calls & text messages (Airplane Mode is the closest I can find for the Droid but it kills all connectivity).

On the Eris you can choose to turn off the Mobile Network (Verizon's Internet connection basically) when you long press the End call button (along with the options to go into Silent Mode , Turn Off , Airplane Mode).

There's lots of times when I would like to keep the Droid turned on but do not need Internet access & would love to save (major) battery power by keeping the phone in the "Mobile Network" off mode - like if you are sitting around at work or home and won't be checking mail , the web but would like to be able to receive calls.

This mode keeps my friend's Eris from using hardly any battery power over a few hours (versus at least like 20% used when the network is active , with typical b/g apps pushing / syncing).

Even with all app syncing turned off my Droid uses more battery power than I'd like , so turning off the network would be great (Airplane Mode does save lots of batt on the Droid, I've tested it vs. normal but Airplane Mode is useless w/o the ability to receive calls).

Thanks for any info!
