Applications>Market and search for 3GWatchdog, a very useful app for keeping an eye on your 3G usage.

if you have skype and msn installed and logged in, they'll increase the battery drain, i'd imagine. you can use the "system" app to stop the applications.. that app is useful for other things as well. people have started to find out that it's not good to use Advanced Task Killer or comparable applications.. but it shouldn't be too bad if you use it only to quit a specific application or two.

Apps I like are

SlideIT keyboard

Flixter
Astro file manager
Folder organiser
Mabilo ring tones
Shazam
Pic say pro
SMS pop up
Svox voices
Switch pro widget
Talking calendar
Tricorder
Tunein radio
Unotes

Enjoy your desire and welcome.

I cant see the prob. with using them myself.

Lights blue touch-paper... (and gets off pretty quick)
