Bear in mind that "up to" figures are very misleading, especially for talktime. You really want to know what the *worst-case* talktimes are for 2G and 3G. If you look around you'll see that many 3G phones sport little more than 90 minutes worst-case talktime, but still manage several hours of worst-case 2G.

Of course, it's very much network dependent as to what talktime you get. Here in the US, there are waaaay fewer cells than in europe, so phones tend to use higher output power more often. Still, my old 6680 used to really burn through battery when it sat on 3G cells compared to forcing it to 2G. Dave English couldn't video call me then though, but that only ever happened twice
