As a follow up to this post - More metrics:
May: 402mb
June: 410mb
July: 182mb (remember, my billing cycle is 15th-15th, so that's a complete cycle).

Around mid-June, I went and did a huge app purge, whittling it down to a dozen or so apps (from the 50 or so I had installed up to then).

Of the "culprit" apps listed above, I deleted Reeder and MapQuest and updated to IOS4. One of those 3 seems to have solved my huge data suck issues.

Dont usually have many open pages in Safari. I tend to close 'em down when I'm done. I don't actually remember the battery being any worse, which is even weirder. I'd certainly think a huge jump in data usage like that would kill the battery, but I still get pretty much a day's worth out of it as I always have.
I'm nuking pretty much any app I don't launch at least 3 times a week and we'll see what happens.

Is your battery life also taking a hit? That might indicate a background process. Also, does your iPhone automatically connect to your home or work WiFi network? If the network connection is dodgy, the phone might keep trying to reconnect to 3G (maybe). Any new app sending lots of push messages?

Something that appeared to be killing battery life for me was leaving lots of web pages open in Safari, even after closing it. Maybe there's a rogue web page in the background constantly reloading itself or something.

Sadly, it was announced today that Patrick McGoohan (the original Prisoner) passed away. Hopefully, AMC will do something special to acknowledge his work.
