I have the 4S — used to have a BB Bold 9700, on AT&T.  My habits haven’t changed significantly, and I’ve even dropped a work-related email acct, so email usage has decreased.  I never exceeded 100 MB on my Bold — now I’m using 300+ MB!  I don’t use Siri, or iCloud, am not “pushing” anything, don’t stream vids or music…  Sync is via iTunes.  I’m on WiFi as much as possible.  Bluetooth is off.  Location services are off.  Pretty much turned my smartphone into a dumb one…  Still no reduction in data usage. I’ve even gotten new hardware from Apple, and a new SIM card from AT&T.  
I have spent hours on the phone with both Apple and AT&T.  No real help from anyone…ARRRGGGGH!
