Disabling ActiveSync is a no-no for me since I need to check my emails regularly (currently every 10 minutes) and EVDO is widely available in Atlanta so I'd rather not disable it since I do enjoy my web surfing!
After reading this latest post though, I did notice that the Data Connection icon does stay on and instead of the Antennae icon above the signal bars, the left and right data arrows remain, whether I'm synching emails, connecting to the web or not.
Is there a registry tweak to change this? I'd rather not go through the build process again unless absolutely necessary.

Of course as soon as I post this, I replaced the battery with one I have from a replacement and all is well. It is now almost 4:00pm and I still have 70% of my battery with regular everyday use. I think the other battery must be bad (it even charges in less than 30 minutes from a full drain).
Please disregard my post from earlier. Although my Data Connection light is still staying on, that is not draining the battery like I thought.
