here is comparision between sprint and verizon radio, using Juicy 2.4.1:

battery on sprint radio: 7am - 11pm with 20% remain
idle: 93mA (5 level brightness)
idle low BL: 57mA
standby: 13mA
on phone: 374-383(no BL),437(low BackLit),473-502(AV),528mA
Data:93 no download; Dowload: 143-193-473,509(average)-524 (3 bar;15 minutes)
phone: 366(no bl);446-457(av)-552 (2-3 bar; 15 minutes)

battery on Verizon radio: 2am - 6pm with 30% remain
idle: 93mA (5 level brightness)
idle low BL: 57mA
standby: 13mA
data: 93 no download; Dowload: 549-554-584-599-656-757 (3 bar;15 minutes)
phone: 193-368(no backlit);446-449(average)-501-540 (2-3 bar; 15 minutes)

per each measure, each radio seems to consume the same amount of mA but at the end of the day, verizon seems a little better, which not logical.
