In my situation they are turned on at the same time, 3G is a bit early, both at home and in my office; I see 3G icon for a few seconds until the device connects to wifi. So, I see that the device turns on 3g first and then wireless connection, not vice versa.

Moreover I would not like in many situations for 3G to connect itself when the device can not connect to wi fi network; because it happens so many times that I walk around with my device in my hand; so the wi fi reception comes and goes around the house, office etc. I believe the battery used for 3G for connection and disconnection is much more than wi fi detection alone.

Therefore I would like to have an option to disable 3G separate from wi fi connection.
