Is my experience typical?


Previously on this iPhone 3G (which is about 1 year old), I could go about 3 days (72 hours) with average usage between charges on Vodafone. I had EDGE switched off, as well as 3G.


Now I am on XT and have 3G switched on at all times as this is obviously required, and cannot last more than 14-16 hours (one waking day) without risking the battery going flat at an unexpected time eg. during a call. That's 14-16 hours total standby, with perhaps 3-5 hours of usage in that.


Is this typical of the experience on XT due to the 3G only network?


I am running 3.0 and restored a backup from 1.1.4 to get to this point. Is there any point in starting completely afresh with a clean slate?
