I've had this with both my 3g and now my 3gs. I've been using the same backup (to keep my sms's) from way back the 2g ear, that's over 2 years now.

With the 3gs:
* If I restore from backup, i get approx 4-6hrs battery usage and high data usage (confirmed this with vodafone, even though iphone reports much lower). Also noticed that it gets quite warm for no reason!
* Ir restored and set up as a new phone, i get approx 10 usage and normal data usage (vodafone counter is practically the same as the iphone counter)

Obviously I searched on the net and found ppl suggesting to set up as a new phone, everytime the firmware is upgraded.

(Settings on iphone include: notifications on for ebuddy, location services on, fetch 15mins, push enabled for mobile me)

Thanks
