3g sucks (battery)

progThe day after I complained about 3g not working, my phone's Edge connection started to work OK, so for the first time I let it run in Edge-only mode for a couple of days.
Holy cow: I didn't know that 3g affected battery life _that_ much. My phone can now go two full days without a recharge. Time was, the battery was completely dry after 15 hours of casual use.
It's noticably slower this way too, but... I think I'll leave it like this for a while.
Edit: Shozu fail! It let me type in my tags and a "geotag", and it appears to have posted neither, but it did feel free to replace both with a binky little banner-ad for itself. Get offa my phone, you pantload.
