Yesterday, I wrote about setting up the iPhone with pay-as-you-go service. Without purchasing feature packs, the data plan goes for an exorbitant $0.01/KB. (With a feature pack, the data goes down to $2/MB, or $0.002/KB.) This got me wondering. It's been almost a month since the iPhone debuted. How much data have you used? My iPhone tells me that I've sent 608 KB and received 2.9 MB--although with all my resets and restores, that number is probably much lower than my actual usage. Still, that's nothing compared to our own David Chartier. He's at 12.2 MB sent and 59.8 MB received. (Data junkie!) So I'm curious. How much EDGE data have you sent and received? You can find out by selecting Settings -> Usage. Let us know in the comments how big a data user you are. Bragging rights to everyone who beats out David.
Update: It looks like the average is currently around 150-200 MB for readers who aren't hovering around WiFi hotspots. The current high is near 2.7 GB. The few of us who have ready WiFi access are way, way down in comparison.

are you serious that's all you sent??!
well, i've only had this iphone for a week (i exchanged cause my original was having battery issues), but i've already got 8.2MB sent and 63.5MB received on this one.
i remember my original had over 200MB received when i traded it in.
...but then again, i never reset my statistics.

I'm not using a pay as you go plan, but my iPhone says I have sent 16.4 MB and received 90.0 MB over EDGE. I restored mine a while back as well so if that erases the stats then it would really be even higher than that. Am I an ultra data junkie???

This is since my last stat reset on 7/6/07. I mostly get traffic maps and email, so my useage is probably lower than yootoob hogs. Even so, I'm admittedly amazed at how low it is at the moment. ;)
Cheers,

I purchased mine this past Monday (the 16th) but didn't actually get it activated until Tuesday morning the 17th. Been using it just about nonstop since then.

wow, i'm a loser, evidently:
sent = 1.1 MB
received = 8 MB
but, in my defense (like kory @ #8), i'm at my computer waaay more than i am away from it.

As a phone it's 'ok'
As an ipod it's 'ok'
As a portable internet device - I absolutely love it.
