Again, I don't see this problem on my Bold, and I am in EDGE coverage (or worse) all day every day, except those rare occasions that I run errands in the next county (which has 3G coverage). I am also running WiFi all day every day and bluetooth all day every day. I don't see problems with battery life. If the battery life would be better not having the Bold search for 3G, then great. But as it stands, I find battery life on my device excellent.

"Wow" is now overused. Therefore, I will use "Magic bananas" instead.
