Set Automatic connection to your 3G provider, switch OFF-ON, after powering ON - kill WiFi by "stop wlancond", unload 3 drivers - "rmmod wl12xx", "rmmod mac82011", "rmmod crc7" and you would enjoy a 48h battery life (If you don't video, of course).

WiFi power drain is a cause of short battery life but not 3G. It looks like Nokia already fixed it ... but in internal release. Some people test it and reports a good results - see comment 58, bug 6615.
