3G iPhone Data Poll: How much data have you used?

After the iPhone debuted, I posted this poll on TUAW, where I first got a sense of how much data YouTube videos and Mobile Safari web pages were pulling down through the network.

We're now about two months into iPhone 3G and I thought I'd repeat the exercise. How much data are you using on that 3G iPhone of yours? Are you still at 2.5G/EDGE levels of usage or has the 3G data bumped you up into new territory?

Pop into your iPhone's Settings > General > Usage pane and check out your Cellular Network Data usage stats. Drop a note in the comments and let us know about how much data you're actually using per month. (Assuming you haven't reset your phone, there will be about 2 months of data there.) And if any of you 1st Gen EDGE iPhone users have comparative data for month-to-month usage (rather than your total stats), that would be great to compare with the 3G numbers.

So have at it, readers. How much data are you using?

I'm thinking about buying an iPhone 3g in Luxembourg, there are two data plans, one with 1GB a month and one with unlimited. Here is my question:
How long does it take to use about 1GB data on 3g?
Wich one should I rather take?

Interestingly, I've owned the phone now for exactly 2 weeks (14 days). Below my network usage, however, it says the last time my phone was reset was 3/14/08. Strange.

So, I had an original iPhone since Day 1, and on the 1 year anniversary, I had downloaded just over 1 GB. I don't remember how much the upload was but it was significantly less, like 100-125 MB.

I have never reset my statistics, so my iPhone 3G has added to that number. I got the 3G 2 weeks after launch, and my total is now:

Sent: 216 MB
Received: 2.4 GB

So basically I've downloaded 1.5 times more data in the past 2 months than I did in the full year I had the original iPhone.

I'd say 3G has definitely sped things up for me.

Great poll - I'm glad to see these numbers from others, too.
