You can get rid of cell standby process by mounting the filesystem as writeable and then renaming the process' filename which I believe to be Phone.apk or TelephonyProvider.apk (I don't have my NST with me to doublecheck as it's been appropriated by my daughter who's away from home at her summer job) -- e.g., to Phone.apk.bak. This way you can revert the change in case there is any undesirable side effect.
To accomplish the above, the simplest way (which you can do yourself) is to use a file-manager app (from Search Market aka GooglePlay) such as ES FileExplorer; you'll need to first go into its Settings to enable root-browsing and mounting-filesystem-writable, before browsing to the target file in /system/app and rename it.
The slightly more tedious way is to run a Terminal emulation app and use linux-like android command lines "mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system", "cd /system/app" and "mv Phone.apk Phone.apk.bak".
The most tedious way is to use use android command lines with ADB access from PC (
