Yes, the phone does throttle the radio power. The initial GSM specs included that. I have seen the battery lasting more or less (prior to smartphones) depending on "distance", as indicated by the bar signal indicator. A battery that normally lasted days in the city would be spent in a single day when out in a mountain hike.
That was more likely due to the continual "Searching for Network" than it was due to the time it was actually connected :) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
