hey guys

I'm going to Italy in April. Will be in rome for 5 days and in Milan for 2 days.

I read Effendi's guide page on Prepaid Data in Italy, also I read this page http://www.prepaidgsm.net/forum/ital...ata-italy.html

I would like to use my Iphone 3G while i'm there. It is unlocked.

Was wondering what would be my best option? I will be using it for emails, web surfing, maps and some touristy apps.

From what I see Wind's 'Internet no stop' with 1gb/month seems like a good option. Is this still available? Will i be able to purchase and set this up in Rome at the airport once I arrive. Is wind's network 3G? is it widespread enough?Also seems like wind's 'internet no stop' is limited to 32kbps.

Another option that looks good to me is TIM's NovercaGiga 11Euro month for 1GB. Or TIM's Web 500 MEGA CoopVoce 9Euro/month 500MB. Those options look great and from what i hear TIM has the most widespread network... but is it 3G? And with TIM will i be able to purchase this at the airport in Rome?

thanks for your help.
