While 3G does consume more battery life than 2.5G it might be the constant switching that's doing the killin noticed on my Metro rides that if I leave my N900 on searching for a connection it'll thrash the battery life as it connects to a tower only to disconnect within minutes as the subway goes back under a tunnel. So now I just put it in offline mode when in the underground sections of the subway.
