I am trying it today and will report back.
Anyone have experience and inputs?

WiFi, yes. Bluetooth not as much. When WiFi is on, if not connected, the device keeps searching for a WiFi network. Blutooth only searches when manually activated. But if in bluetooth options and Discoverable=On, it is always "talking" and logic would be that it would use more battery. Just my opinion.

Never had an issue, I have wifi on 24/7 when at home or in locations where a hotspot is close or near. Bluetooth, only when needed.

Same here, I have wifi on 24/7 and BT when needed. I find that when the radiois turned on i lose battery quicker while in the car as the phone seached for towers, then searches for 3G coverage on top of that.
To save battery there is a lot of things you can do, switching your phone from wifi to radio coverage and turning off the one not in use is a major step in the right direction. Use the search function to find a thread dedicated to battery life!
Same here wifi and BT on almost all the time, with very little difference in battery life I maybe get approx 1.4% rate of discharge with both on and about 1.2% with them off. So not a big noticeable difference
Always have wifi and even GPS on...don't use BT...
I get 2 days most of the time.
I generally charge everynight now though.

W/o BT on I get about 1.5 days with Pandora literally playing about 8 of those 36 hours. Thanks to Meterberry I aalways have a good idea of when I'll need to charge and how much. I'm weird about battery life... I have a 8120 I work with just for fun, and am trying to see just what I can do with it as far as maximum battery life and select usage of apps. I'm a dork I know.
