There is a difference when it is on but its so small you cannot notice! Even when the phone is connected! However, when there is activity like transfer of files and data, the battery gets drained more easily!

The OS itslef supports .wav and .midi. Its supports rng but this is just lame beep sounds for ringtones!

There is 3rd party software that can play mp3s as well! There is no limitation on the Platform side!

Yup.. it will alsp drain more if you on your vibrating Alert ON. You can try it and Off it and compare the difference ;) oh yeah.. and also you keep on playing with your phone while the backlight is always on.
