calling back today as i can't wait for the program, this isn't fair at all. I need a fully functional phone NOW.
Widgets can drain a lot of battery power, and as long as your data is turned on there will also be a trickle of data in the background.

APNdroid will allow you to turn your data on and off (by appending the APNs with some text): APNdroid v2.0.0 Application for Android | Tools

I leave my data turned off until i need to use it. Also keep WiFi off until I need it. I use no widgets that will be trying to transfer data all the time.

yes, it's annoying to have to give up this functionality, but until they design newer batteries that are more powerful, that is the reality.
