Has anyone see their battery use decrease significantly when upgrading to version 4.1. As of now I have version 4.0 and I get about a day of battery power. I would hate to run out of battery in the middle of the day because I upgrade to 4.1. My provider is Verizon.

I have a 7250/Verizon and have not seen any difference in battery use since upgrading to 4.1

If you live on a fringe area of EVDO, your battery will drain faster as the handheld switches back and forth to 1X mode.

My suggestion, keep the bb on charge when able.

Is there a significant different in speed in the internet browsing with version 4.1?

with 4.1 (or 4.0.2) and evdo, there is a significant difference in speed. The only thing holding the device back is the "speed" (ram/cpu) of the device.

However, you can tether it ($15 additional per month) to a laptop and have mobile broadband speeds.

No problem with battery life. Like tomryan said, your battery will go quickly in the fringe areas.
