“Dead” might have been slightly hyperbolistic, it’s actually a “fringe” area. I don’t have enough signal to browse the web, receive e-mail or even make or receive calls, but it is enough signal to pop “one bar” up every once and a while to taunt me. (Usually just long enough for me to receive indication that I received a voicemail while I was cut off.)

I agree, they need a “wi-fi” only mode.

I did a longer, more rigorous test last night and the phone is loosing battery at a rate of 1% every 1.5 minutes here in the room. I just leave it on the charger.

I’ve had battery problems not in dead zones, but on the edge of reception. Must admit not that dramatically though.

Re: Airplane mode, use this quite a lot but would like a “turn off phone, keep on Wifi” but can only find the reverse…
