    I think it's better to compare this one with the BEL+SMS+WEB Smart 100 from vodafone.

    And vodafone has a datalimit while t-mobile gives unlimited data with a Fair Use Policy.

    Thanks for the Renewed Insights. I really think it will be worth �15,- a year for using Internet when Travelling (during the Holidays).

    Also you get 1000MB data which I won't consume within a month (300MB might be critical).

    I think I like those "B+S+W Smart" Contracts!

    I just can't get around that 'unlimited SMS'-thing... who needs SMS when you have BBM

    NB: Will update with Hi-contracts later today.

    I think it's their way of lowering the Data Overload on their Data Servers. You can also think of it this way: "Who needs BBM when you can Text anyone for Free?" SMS would still be Faster and more Stable dan BBM, especially when the Coverage in your area is low...

    I think that unlimited SMS thing is just a marketing stunt.. People choosing for B+S+W Smart are usually the people who use WhatsApp or Skype.

    That will only work if both of you have B+S+W Smart.
    Or if you have B + S + W Smart and the other one has Hi Messaging contract.

    (which is great.. free Texting between different platforms will be a lot easier

    Sending BBM text messages only will not get you anywhere near any datalimit Remember that BlackBerry compresses all data.

    I think I'll pass up on the 'Smart' and just get a regular B+S+W 200. I'm on wifi most of the time anyway (Home, parents, in-laws, work, all Wifi ).

    The idea off having "Unlimited" Data while I'm on Holiday (which is definatly Less than 60 days a year) and also having no extra Costs on Calling or Texting while on Holiday will definatly saves me more than the �15,- a year they charge me with the Smart Contract.

    You even can use your Navigation Apps without the concern you're getting charged for that use.

    For example: I went 2 weeks on Holiday this summer and it costed me �12,- and that's because I didn't reply on any text, only made short phonecalls and where not able to use Internet. When I'd had the Smart Contract, I'd wouldn't have to worry about anything for only �3,- extra, that's the Price of 1.5 Daily Data Bundles.

    It's definatly worth it to me =).

    I'm glad I got a new Vodafone BSW 300 SIM only contract right before the 1st of August. Which means 300 minutes/sms and 1GB data including BIS for 20 euro a month the first year, 30 euro a month the second year and 35 euro after the contract period. Only downside is having to pay full retail price for the 9900, but I'm OK with that.

    At a total price of �1.089 that's not all too bad, mate! After 2 years the �35 might hurt, but it'll be a completely new situation by then with QNX phones, iPhone 7 and Samsung Galaxy S4
