Ive been leaving Bluetooth on continuously for the past couple of days as a test. I use it with my laptop. I have to say I haven't noticed much of a change in battery consumption... nothing out of the ordinary at least.

Well, just leaving Bluetooth on all the time doesn't use much battery. My phone when fully charged with bluetooth off has a standbytime (in the status menu) 270-280h. With bluetooth on all the time I get about 210-230h standbytime.
But when you use bluetooth it eats alot more power. For example if you connect to internet through bluetooth and GPRS that eats quite alot of battery. But even then it's better than IR, and I think the power consumption with bluetooth internet connection and with a cable internet connection is about the same.
I have bluetooth always enabled.

Is Automatic setting only available when using Bluetooth SE Headsets along with SE T68i?
My Automatic setting does not work for my 3Com Bluetooth PC Card.

I've never noticed much difference having bluetooth turned on all the time.
There is a chart showing the power consumption going about.

Irda and Blue Tooth drain alot. Especially the former.
When not in use shut them down.
