I have a k800i i bought it on o2 had it debranded to normal uk version and now using my 3 uk pay monthly sim inside it.
i only use my phone for the basic making voice calls and texts no video calls or downloads etc.
i have noticed there is a network option in the settings where you can seletect GSM & 3G or GSM ONLY, what difference would it make if i selected gsm only ? would it make any difference for making and receiving voice calls and texts? or charge me any differently?
as i do not need any othere 3g features it would save me alot of battery...can someone please shed some light on this for me...
many thanks.

Sorry, i dont know about your question, but why does using 3G consume more battery? |

3G uses more power so will the battery wont last as long
If your not going to make video calls or want to download at higher speed then just use GSM
