I am stuck waiting while my car is in for repairs. I have been surfing the net using a strong 3G signal and after nearly 2 hours my battery is down to 30%. I have made no phone calls and the battery just came off the charger from the usual overnight charge.

Anyone else feel this is unusual or is this just the 3G downside.

Did you charge it with your computer or the wall charger? Also, do you have location services turned on or off?
 
30% will last you a while. Mine lasted for a further 30-40mins on 10% remaining with 3G, Location Services and Push email on.
