iPhone Backup - A possible solution

I have a piece of advice that may or may not apply to everyone.

As we all know,  the iPhone backups take a ridiculous amount of time. (half hour to hour most of the time).  I may have found a fix for this.  Just the other day,  I restored my iPhone, but NOT from a backup.   it was a clean wipe, and then immediately installed 2.0.2 before any usage.  I then transfered my desired applications,  which took way to long, and then began inputting my data. I have backed up 5 times since the complete restore, and each time, the back up took only a matter of about 3-4 min.

I am not sure if it was the restore that fixed this problem, or something else that I am not aware of, but it is definitely 100 times better now that I don't have to wait an hour to back up my iPhone.

I hope this works for others!
