    Just curious how much others take advantage of unlimited data. I have 4 days left on my billing cycle with ATT and have used 786.38 MB so far without tethering to a computer. I've only had my berry for two months so this is a new record for me.

    What's your monthly usage at (tether/no tether)?

    I am a college student, so I transfer a lot of projects, docs, etc back and forth. I also have ZERO music on my BB. Why? Because I stream everything via Slacker or Pandora

    I used about 100mbs in the space of over 2 weeks.

    Off topic, I ended up sending 760 messages in those two weeks. Darn IM-style text messaging! haha.

    Just started a new month today.

    Last month I hit 1.3 Gig!

    One word....

    PANDORA!

    45 Minute commute in the AM, 1 hour commute in the PM and 1 hour a night on the treadmill.

    NO tethering by the way!

    Nope!

    I use the phone about 30 minutes day, countless emails (At least 200)

    Texting as well.

    By the time I get home and finish I am at about ~%30to %40.

    I have to say that the battery life is great on this phone!

    I average about 2 GB a month. I don't tether either.

    This is mostly from Pandora. I always listen to music before I go to sleep. I put my 9700 in its cradle and then hook it up to a small pillow speaker I have. Then it streams piano music all night and it really helps me go to sleep and STAY asleep. I have the paid Pandora subscription so there are no streaming limits for me.

    I just transferred to blackberry from the iPhone and only have 500mb on my plan... With all the options a blackberry has I'm kinda scared that I might go over so I'm playing it safe the first month. Good thing I have wifi at home and at school though or else I'd definitely go over my limit.

    I'm using about that much also. Think it probably has to do with the lack of music streaming options in Canada.

    I just got my bill and I did 92 mb last month. I use Pandora frequently. However, I'm on wi-fi a whole lot. I'm assuming none of that counts.

    T-Mobile splits usage between web only (~70mb) and BlackBerry (~20mb). Presumably, most of my bb usage is bbm and email attachments.

    I'm on an unlimited plan with T-mobile, but I still am interested in how much I use. Does anyone know how I can find out data usage on my phone?

    Typically around 1-1.5 gig a month. I'm lagging so far this cycle, only at 560mb with 15 days to go.

    No, I rarely stream anything, and I don't tether.

    When I bought my iPhone 3G on launch day in Canada I signed up for the 6gig plan. Since then I've ditched the iPhone and gone the BB route. Recently I adjusted my plan via the retentions department (Rogers) and downgraded to the 500mb plan. I just rarely ever used more than 100-200mb.

    I stream from Grooveshark all the time but usually only on Wi-Fi! Plus you can archive songs for offline play. Genius!
