I use about 15GB/month (downstream). Very similar to the usage I had with my previous phone, by the way (a Nokia N95 8GB).

200 mb UMTS for 10€ any connection after that is GPRS without additional costs.

I use about 150-200mb every month.

i was wondering if someone can estimate for me how much kb/Mb is any webpage, say this one? the reason i ask is im in South Africa and our data prices are ridiculous, and mostly rely on miniopera to reduce the data i use, n900 to be released in the 2nd quarter here. Thanks for the help

i usually dont have any images turned on to reduce data cost, if anyone can please give me an idea as to how much data per webpage.

It varies too much, even excluding images, to really give a sensible answer. A well written website can be very small. One with web pages built in Microsoft Word and thus with very inefficient HTML can literally be 100 times larger.

Explore the command "netstat" on your Windows PC or Linux box to get number of bytes of network traffic. Then visit some of your favorite sites.

That volume is mainly because of Internet radio. A 256Kbps stream for nearly as long as I am in the office. So that is 8 hours a day (or more), 5 days a week. Do the math.

Vodafone here in Spain has a 3Mbps data plan with no traffic limits at all and I only pay 12€/month for that. I could upgrade to 7.2Mbps and pay 15€/month, but I haven't felt the need for it.
