Sakala,
We had this discussion a few weeks ago remember. What does an iPhone do so easily and the same thing in Android is a mess - We have a data plan - 200MB each per month. We both have similar kind of usage (Personal email / News / FB / Twitter etc.). My usage every month is 50 megs and her usage (Android) is close to 200, sometimes even over that causing us to pay extra each month. I still have not figured out why - just downloaded a traffic monitoring app and will let you know how it goes.
But the point is, its extremely easy to turn of polling (for updates every 5 minutes or so for FB/Emails etc.) for ALL the apps on an iPhone. I just go to Settings > Notifications and turn all of them off. But on the S2, I have to open each and every app, go to the homepage of the app sometimes, then tap on the settings, tap again on a couple of buttons to turn that off and I am successful only for that particular app. I have to repeat the same cumbersome process for all the data eating apps, which is extremely annoying from the usability POV.
