Well, you could turn the GSM chip off via the power menu... I haven't noticed a large power drain when without signal. It suspends just fine now and will sit in suspend consistently. Suspended for an hour uses 1% or so of the battery. Perhaps one of the GSM commands in the suspend script is disabling that search.
I have noticed once or twice that the signal strength doesn't report right after a resume with these commands. It may have been because I did a suspend while without signal and a resume with.
