@revdkathy, @steve4130 do you really need to manually switch between 2g and 3g modes, i would assume all phones know how to down to 2g if 3g is unavailable.
Receiving MMS doesn't require 3G.

And yes, this thread exists because if the phone cannot find 3G when set to dual mode, it will try to find one ever so often, that eats battery. Please, read this thread trough once more. Every 3G enabled phone has an force 2G -only mode AFAIK. The Nokias anyway.
