A 3G On/Off Option for the New iPhone?

There was a post on Mac Rumors that a developer has activated an On/Off option that enables 3G speeds on the latest iPhone 2.0 Beta 5 distributed to developers.  Evidently the preference is hidden and will not work on current iPhones … so dig deep for that new iPhone that is coming …. but be aware that enabling the option will most likely dramatically increase power consumption.  I guess that is why there is the On/Off option so you can fall back to EDGE.  Too bad there is not a bigger battery or better still, a user replaceable battery.

    MotionMind, it's true that bursty file transfers are more economical over 3+G, battery life-wise. Real-time streaming, however, isn't - see my related articles & measurements if interested.

    3G on the AT&T network actually seems to use less power than edge in passive mode, ie...exchange push email operations, weather updates. It is a bigger drain while surfing or streaming media for sure, but how much drain would you get from Edge while taking 2-10x as long to download the same data from the backlight alone while in use?
