| |  200 mb data
How much is that really? I send 100s of emails and surf most of the day on my phone. Att is the only one that does not offer unlimited data. But I want a torch!

If you take a good look at your phone bill, it should list how many minutes you used, how many night time/weekend minutes, incomming text, out going text, and ammount of data usage. You should be able to look back a few months and figure out pretty close to what your adverage kb/mb per month is.

Your bill details should contain a list of every data session you had, no matter how short, with a summary of the total received and transmitted.

try 200mb for first 2 month to see how it works out,
You can always upgrade to 2gb later on.
2gb is alot of data for blackberry.
i only use about 150mb a month

data compression on BB is great. While 200MB should be sufficient for just what you said, any A/V will take a serious toll. Of course, you could always use WiFi for that...
Also AT&T does have an unlimited plan. It is $10/month per line and is exclusive to family plans. They will also not let you use it as the data plan with a smartphone upgrade, though you could buy the BB/iPhone somewhere else (like the marketplace) and throw in your SIM (what I plan on doing)...

EDIT:
Also no, $10/mo/line is not a typo. It's just unadvertised, exclusive to family plans, and they won't give you it if your phone from them is a smartphone (though I have heard of people just calling 611 and saying that they do not actually have one).

I've been on a 200mb plan for a year now, and with moderate use of Facebook, Twitter, web browsing and navigation, I've not gone over that. Most people don't go over 2gb unless you run Pandora or something all day every day lol.

I moved down to the 200mb plan, and use Twitter and Facebook quite a bit. I also use wifi when it is available to cut down on data use. I haven't gone over yet.

The only reason you should exceed 2 gigs is if you do a lot of streaming media or are tethering to a computer. I use the 'berry for e-mail (5 accounts, BES wireless reconciliation), quite a bit of web browsing, a little bit of Youtube, and have yet to reach 200 MB in a month.

A question like this will get you nothing but a 100+ different answers...
The best thing you can do is get low tier data plan and keep close track of the amount of data you are using through out the month - if you see you're getting close to the 200mb then call AT&T and change to the 2gig plan.
Everyone's usage is different - I'm less then one day into the new billing cycle on one of my lines and I've already used 60+mb...

He's right, Im 25 days into mine and I've only used 74 MB
AT&T actually put out a good plan, I honestly don't need unlimited data, I just liked the thought of it.
I do like music, but using wifi or a memory card isn't going to kill me, in fact it will save me about 144 dollars a year.

When I first got AT&T I was pissed that they didnt have unlimited. But after 3months with them I havent come close to the 2gb. I realize now how much free wifi there is out there. My parents live 3 hour away and I drive there and back every weekend streaming Pandora radio the whole way and I have yet to use more than 1.4gb

When I signed with ATT I was upset they had just done away with unlimited data. But since then I have never gone over 150MB, I liked the idea of unlimited but I like the $$$ better in my pocket.

Guess I win this thread...
I stream Sirius radio (or sometimes Slacker Radio) for 9 hours a day 5 days a week at work. Plus a couple hours on the weekends when I walk my dogs.
Also, I send a lot of emails and do some light-moderate web browsing and facebook.
I used over 9 gigs last month. 
Thank god I'm grandfathered. And NO, I am NOT tethering OR watching videos of any kind. This is almost entirely what I described above. My billing cycle started at the beginning of March and I'm already at 3.2 gigs.  | | |
