Disable 3G when phone is locked
When the phone is locked (i.e. usually in my pocket, give users the option to disable 3G and just use edge for notifications etc.) Once the phone is unlocked and being used, 3G re-enables in the background for web browsing etc unless a Wi-Fi network is active. I'm sure that this would take normal day to day battery life well over the 10 hours or so that most people need.

I have also posted this idea in the windows phone support forum.

Every tweek that could increase battery life is wellcome. When 3G is not needed it should be disabled. I'm checking my email accounts on schedule and I'm not using live tile updates for Facebook or Twitter applications. So I'm using 3G or 4G only from time to time.

Nice idea. But have it stick to 3G when GSM is not available.
