Hi Christopher,
I guess our opinions here differ. The iPhone does an excellent job of always using WiFi if you are connected to your WiFi anyways. I am not sure if you actually save battery by turning cellular data off, maybe a bit, but if I am at work and I have to leave for a while to maybe go to the bank, grab some lunch or meet somebody, I really couldn't be bothered to unlock my phone, go to Settings and Cellular and turn it on because now I'm not on WiFi and maybe I received a text message which I want to reply to with SIRI or I need to check my email etc. That's the same as turning WiFi off when I'm not at home or at work, I also don't usually do that unless I am travelling and I know I'm not going to be on WiFi all day and that's actually even easier because I can just tell SIRI to turn it on or off. SIRI can also turn cellular data on or off, but of course if it's off and I'm not on WiFi anymore then I have to do it manually because SIRI of course won't work. It really comes down to a convenience thing and I don't mind recharging my iPhone every night which means I don't have to turn off everything to save another 3% battery here or 5% there.

For example, you can use SIRI and iMessaging over wifi, just as you can use these features on the iPod and the iPad. I'm not sure why you say you need cellular data for these features. I'd assume that with wifi and the cellular radio turned on (which you need for calls and text messaging) that you'd be able to do pretty much everything on your iPhone, even if cellular data is turned off. BTW, you may want to turn off cellular data if you're getting close to your monthly limit, at least you might want to start being more judicious about it's use.

In my opinion cellular data should always be on because so much the iPhone can do relies on cellular data, it's a smartphone after all and smartphones are not so smart without cellular data. You couldn't even use SIRI without it and also iMessaging wouldn't work, either.
