Bad news for iPhone 4S users , iPhone 4S can’t disable 3G and work on 2G only . This option was a good option in iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 as 2G saves battery life than 3G so you can’t save your battery life anymore by this option in iPhone 4S.
On the iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4, users are able to go Settings > General > Network and turn 3G on/off. Turning 3G on, according to Apple’s own admission “loads data faster, but may decrease battery life,” which, naturally is true. However, the 3G option isn’t available following the same path on an iPhone 4S.This option doesn't affect iPhone 4S a lot but it was just a good option, new battery life of iPhone 4S may be a reparation for this issue. Let us know what do you think?

I think sbsettings will allow it. If we succed jailbreaking it.
Probably because Siri will load for ages on 2G
I'm a college student, and on football game days there are so many iPhones in the area on the 3G network that iPhones stop working entirely. When I had the 3GS, I would just use EDGE and work on the regular network. Now that I have a 4S, I cannot turn 3G off, and there is absolutely no way to make my phone work. I have been unable to make or receive calls or texts all day. This was not a good move on Apple's part.
It's a terrible loss of functionality actually for making phone calls for lots of people like me. I can't make calls on 3G in my home and the iPhone 4 I have won't find the Edge in my neighborhood until I manually switch off 3G. It makes the 4S completely unusable 90% of the time.
Stupid move by apple
Unfortunately, this option is not there also on the ipad 2. I had jailbroken my ipad2 on 4.3.3 and used sbsettings to disable my 3g. Now I upgraded to IOS 5.0 and forgot to enable it. Now it is stuck on edge and cannot enable it back... So I have to revert back to IOS 4.3.3 and jailbreak again..
Well then!
No wonder battery life on the iPhone 4S S.U.C.K.S horribly!
Just another reason NOT to get the iPhone 4S.
(And to keep my 3GS <3 )
Main cause if bad battery life on the 4S is that it's a dual CPU system like the iPad but with an iPhone 4 battery. No software fix will ever solve this. Apple is letting phone tech surpass battery tech. Best way is to get N external battery for the 4S which can double the use before both batteries drain to 0
3G actually has minimal impact on the battery. I can put my 4s in airplane mode and play games and the batt goes to 0 twice as fast as my old 4 because it's a dual CPU system with a iPhone 4 battery. An external pack is the solution
3G switch is annoying but u can restore by editing the iTunes backup data. The just added a "hide" statement to a plist file
Where, can I fing te "biedę" statement for 3G switch. What file do I have to edit.
I'm interested too in editing some file and to have the switch back, or 2G network prefer.
I think this is because of new "all-in-one" chip which apple placed on the 4s. Remember gsm and cdmi in one package? Somehow they cannot switch off the 3g on it. But this is my personal opinion.
This website here has a nice description of why you would need this option and an eta on the update. http://imbyter.com/2012/01/iphone-4s-unable-to-turn-off-3g/
