One of the noticeable differences between iOS and Android is battery life. With the Android sets that I've used, I could eek out about a full day of use on a single charge. Having a swappable battery was a lifesaver for those times when I forgot to attach it to the charger before going to bed.

I used a free app called "Quick Settings" to quickly and easily enable/disable 3G. By turning it on only when I needed to, I was able to get 2-3 days of use before having to charge it.

I suggest investigating similar tools (there may exist one that can be programmed to turn 3G on and off at specific times of the day).

You may also discover that the maturity/polish of some apps on Android leave something to be desired. I'm still looking, without any success, for what is essentially the Android version of WriteRoom for iOS. There are a handful of apps that come close, but none match it... so the search continues.

But searching and discovering is part of the benefits of going Android. You will find that you can really customize and configure your phone to be a better personalized fit than the I-will-tell-you-what-you-like approach that Apple takes with iOS.

again, congratulations and enjoy!
Thanks!

I looked at your app, but it says: "This app is incompatible with your Virgin Mobile LGE LG-VM696."

I have another widget that lets me turn mobile data on and off quickly and easily. I keep it off except for syncing email and looking up stuff on the web and installing apps and using gps. I have another that turns off wi-fi automatically after no connection for 3 minutes. I like that.

There is a program called llama for turning on and off ringer at certain times. It could also do the data radios. But just using it for ringer right now.
