From the above test scenarios, I'm surprised to see that playing music all night has not much affect on the battery life, rather GPRS/WiFi has a more adverse affect. I guess this should be the other way round.
I've done #2. One night I left it on GPRS (EDGE) after a full charge and it had about 1/2th left in the morning. Maybe a little under 1/2 since it's hard to tell with that icon. It was checking several email accounts every hour, along with updating omweather every hour. With Skype, Google Talk, and SIPP accounts online. GPS is on (but not activated by anything).

The next time I left it on WiFi (same conditions) and same result, about 1/2 charge left.
