Is it possible to trigger a script whenever the device has connected to a network? On desktop we have the NetworkManager dispatcher
I use a similar configuration as described by peterleinchen: Automatic WiFi at home and work (probably like 12-16h/day) and manual 3G. Additionally, I switch to power saving mode during the night (there's a Toggle PSM script available).

From my experience, this setup is not very hard on the battery -- I still get roughly 2.5-3 days on one charge on my > 4 years old N9 (daily driver). But then again, I don't get/make too many calls.
