2.0.2 firmware: Battery Life with No 3g

Usage: 5 hours 52 minutes
Standby: 12 hours, 25 minutes

So 3G eats approx 30% more battery life than no 3g. Anyone besides me see an issue with that? Why would a company put out a product with this type of battery drain? If I have to plug it in, it isn't very portable.

2.0.2 firmware: 3g Battery life

So today, I fully charged, turned 3g on and didn't plug it in again.

Usage: 4 hours, 10 Minutes
Standby: 8 Hours, 56 Minutes

So I can use 3G for 4 hours, and then I get the 20% battery life message.

You make the decision, but being the Road warrior that I am, 4 hours just doesn't cut it.

Chime in, what are your times?

Let me know
