While I agree that prices are too much, and that at&t does not offer good data roaming for the iphone, this guys is not the brightest bulb. He is a web developer and he does not know the average size of an email or website? not even a ballpark estimate? It's like being a car mechanic and not knowing how much a quart of engine oil costs! People like that should not be practicing that profession...

The thing is that he got ATT to eat the charges when he was thoroughly in the wrong. I don't know what to think about that.
If you are using a push email service and the foreign roaming partner rounds per transaction, he can run up a fortune in roaming charges doing very little. Also Google maps uses a ton of data because it really doesn't cache all that much. For foreign trips, take a look at Nokia's Smart2go which has free maps if you don't want direction by direction instructions that you can download to an SD card when you have a wifi connection. |

Yet one more reason that I choose Nokia and SE phones (well maybe a WinMo phone here and there too ) over the 'embrace + extend' phones (i.e. blackberry, iphone, hiptop). You can easily throw in a prepaid SIM and have TomTom (or some other mapping software).
