Yep, you will get veeeeeeerry slightly better battery life if messenger is not signed in. PPC phones also use a very little bit more battery if you leave the gprs connection connected. But it is hardly noticeable.
Anything that causes the GPRS radio to transmit/recieve will use a little more juice if the device is on or "off".
You will notice a substantial battery hit if you have messaging set to check your email every 10 minutes or so through out a day. The device is never really in sleep mode. It spends most of it's time in unatteneded and uses the radio every 10 mintues. But again, this is probably less battery drain than 10 minutes of wifi.
