At an abstract level - when WAN is off the on to off switch is simply a command to make the screen white and then take the system into a low power mode, instead of letting some time pass until the screensaver is drawn and the system automatically goes into the same low power state as "off".

I have noticed a major difference between turning off and sleep mode. I always keep WAN off.. probably havn't turned it on in over a month. I get two more weeks out of it if I leave it off. Then again, I probably only use it no more than 2 hours a day, so not sure if that has anything to do with it...

I kinda think that went without speaking for most of us that were responding.

Did anyone definitively discover if the SD card on the K1 drains the battery faster? I use the SD heavily on my K1 and I do have to recharge quite often. I usually keep the Whispernet off, but I have been known to forget.

My DX seems to last a lot longer on a charge, but I read more on my K1, I think, so it's not a good comparison.
