Gentlemen, just to confirm the above, I ran a test on the Data Connection today. The Purple line (hardly visible) is with the Data Connection OFF. To be sure, I turned off Outlook and something called tmail.exe to make sure they wouldn't activate the connection.
The red line is with the Data Connection turned ON, but not polling for data, since the outlook was turned off and so was the tmail.
The only active items during the tests were the phone (no incoming calls) and again, as is my habit, the Brightness level was turned up HIGH.
I only ran them for a little over an hour, but considering the jpg, I didn't see the need to continue any longer.
As you can visibly see, the results are the same.
