Sorry Bun, but I actually think that BT is a bigger killer than WiFi.

Providing you've got the power-saving settings done optimally for the WiFi. I'm actually impressed with Nokia's power-saving features for WiFi kept on but not actively in use...

However, if I use my BT keyboard and forget to turn off BT after I'm done, my battery continues to drain as quickly as if I was using the keyboard. I've ended up with 20% battery left for the bus ride home at the end of the day because of this
