Using Tons of Data Usage After Switching From a Blackberry?!?!?!

I had a blackberry and have switched to the Droid.  I don't feel that I am using a ton more apps, mostly email and occasional FB - which is what I used my blackberry for.  I have looked at my data usage and it has skyrocketed and I cannot figure out why.  I have downloaded a few apps, so on those days, I can understand the spike.  But on the other days, I have no idea why it is so high.  i am also noticing that my battery barely lasts 12 hours.

 

Does anyone have any ideas?  Is there some setting I can turn off without turning off my email?  Thanks!

go to settings>about phone>battey use

and see whats using your battery

 

what widgets do you run? how often are the updating?

define tons of data? i use an avg of 4-5gb a month, my wife 1-2

 

whatever is using your data may be running down your battery

example: mail check every 5 min, facebook update every 5 min ect ect
