I think flicking the switch to turn off the Wifi will go a long way to increase battery life. :-)
I don't know if I'm imagining things. I'm not an expert on wireless technologies, but the CDMA phones I've had have always lost battery life REALLY fast when I had marginal signal. I've had this experience on GSM as well but it has seemed even worse on my CDMA devices. I've only had two of each, so that's not really a big sample, though.
