This seems at odds with my experience on my HTC EVO 4G, but not on my 7" 3G (Verizon) Galaxy Tab. I always keep WiFi turned on on both devices. I have WiFi at home, but not at work, so when I'm home they both default to WiFi, but at work they both use 3G. Both have stock Gingerbread, and the settings are the same for both.
So here's the dichotomy. On weekends (at home), the tab gets better battery life but the phone gets worse; but on weekdays (at work) it’s just the opposite.
