As said, not really. The phone goes into a low power mode, if you have it checking for mail it may activate it to do so, but thats all.
And FYI, Wi-Fi is more energy efficient than Edge. But if you leave Wi-Fi on ALL the time, like at work for example, and you are not using it but actively using Edge for data then you will see a drain since it will keep hunting for networks.
