I don't sync with an Exchange server, but I think the battery drain seems to be more than with the 6.0 kitchen. Also, I noted near the beginning of this thread that the Data Connection icon on the status bar is always indicating ON.
Has anyone addressed the Data Connection icon behaving differently with the 6.1 kitchen?

For me, the drain is definitely internet connectivity that is constant, seemingly due to setting up Exchange push with activesync. However, unlike 6.0 or lower, 6.1 won't time the connection out. I think it's because there is a handshake issue with activesync. I've noticed that my Exchange account on my phone only works intermittently, and whenever I check the status it is always "connecting" never "connected" or "synchronizing". So the connection is constantly trying a handshake and can't get out of an 'active' mode. I've noticed this 'locks' in that status even when manually hitting send/receive. Note: this is only for syncing with a server such as Exchange push. All of my pop3 accounts or gmail accounts sync just fine.
So yes, the battery drain is due to connectivity.... however it's also related to an issue in 6.1, with active-sync and Exchange push.
