My droid uses 500MB a month on just the background tasks such as syncing email. They are definitely not in the same usage league, droid is used a lot more. Ask your friends. If you don't know too many, ask people on forum and find out for yourself.

Ummmm, I have plenty of people who use both iPhones & Droid and you are forgetting one factor, the youth. I probably do 1-3GB on my Droid but I did 3-6 on my iPhone (actually got a call from AT&T about it). The younger generation using the iPhone is going through data more so than they do at home on a standard computer, it is a big shocking. Yet when you think about all the simple, stupid, apps the iPhone has which need to call back to a server then it adds up. Droid users use a lot of data but the number of iPhone users plus the usage of their phones is staggering compared to any other phone on the market.
Also, Verizon only has a few solid phones which are big data usage phones. AT&T has many top phones, besides the iPhone, which use a lot of data but are in smaller numbers. And you are correct, Verizon jumped up on AT&T because of the Alltel purchase, I neglected that info. Also note, the iPad is soon launching and while not 100% 3G device, I can bet a good 40-60% of owners will be on 3G more than wifi.
