Data Usage

[powdah#AC]

Why does an Android device use so much more data than a BB. My wife uses .5 gig of data per month. I use my phone much more for data and only use .05 gig per month. I have a BB Storm2 and she has a Thunderbolt. I am going to get a Galaxy Nexus Prime when it comes out.

Can anyone shed some light on this subject?

thks in advance

Blackberry's compress data, I don't know by how much but I do know they compress data. But iPhones use even more then Android's

an android phone is always syncing with central servers for email, applications updates, location updates, etc. a blackberry doesn't necessarily do all this. i have a samsung epic 4g, and i use to have a blackberry 8330
