Re: Why turn off 3g
I think 3G chipsets have a tendency to draw more power when operating in 3G mode, the earlier ones certainly did they used to eat power.

They may have however gotten a lot more efficient as the technology matures, I have a Cheapo basic 3G ZTE handset I keep as a spare and I can leave that on all week and it will still have power left.
