no pay by traffic amount option built in to your original plan? this stuff seems to come up a lot when comparing iphone and N8x0. its making me think that the us mobile operators are working under the assumption that only corp "road warriors" use mobile data connections for anything other then downloading ringtones and phone "wallpapers", and those can be leeched on a bit more... as in, the iphone isnt on a level playing field as it has a special plan attached to it that gives the owner more, for less. or at least so it appears.
