If the stock rom's comm manager doesn't mention beam, it won't waste the battery if its on alone.

(once again, a very stupid guess and i base this on nothing.)

For legal reasons (e.g., airplane flight, explosive zones), a cell phone manufacturer must provide a very clear way to turn off all radio signals. The Touch Pro Comm Manager is clearly the place to do that. Lawsuits would arise if the Touch Pro were to ignore the Comm Manager's clearly marked Bluetooth setting in order to quietly look for incoming files, especially since the default Beam setting is "On."
I definitely disagree with you guys, especially on the legal issue. I had a mogul and for sure if you left the beam on it drained the battery. I don't recall the beam setting on the mogul being in the comm manager, actually not that i don't remember, it wasn't there, its in the same place it is now. Like i said in my previous post, leaving it checked is 50/50 but for sure turing it off doesn't waste extra battery power.
