thanks! Does 3G coverage also drain battery? i assume turning this off means most of the time I wont get coverage right? so the coverage receptioin is the big drainer? thanks

If you live in fringe areas no matter what service you have your battery will drain faster then usual. By turning 3G on of course your battery will drain even more.
