Bottom line is that having an active internet connection reduces battery life. Using the internet actively drains it even faster. The same goes for 3G vs 2G. Some people are falling back to 2G if they are not using the internet for the very same reason.

If you say so. All i know is my device is connected to the net 24/7 and it has never effected my battery performance. Even with 2 or 3 programs that need to access the net randomly for there usage and i still make it a whole day away from home unless i'm using the gps heavily.
