As of Dec. 31 of last year, Cingular still offers the unlimited data plan, for which I am very grateful. I really missed being able to go online anywhere with my BrailleNote and cell phone, and now I have this capability again. BTW, Jonathan, do you do much web surfing with your BN and phone? If so, does your BN drop the bluetooth connection from time to time? I have this problem quite frequently, if I attempt to load many web pages in Keyweb, bluetooth on the mPower side spontaneously shuts itself off. This has also occasionally happened when I attempted to send an Email with an MP3 attachment, but the web surfing issue is almost constant, and proves to be a real nuisance. Any thoughts would be very much appreciated.

Obviously if you're downloading 500 messages at a time, complete with quoted stuff at the bottom, you'll start to chew through data quite quickly. Yes, when you stream, you are using data, however GPRS isn't really fast enough to do much streaming with. Newer technologies will permit this however. I don't know if they still offer this, but when I signed up with Cingular, I got an unlimited data plan, which takes all the worry out of using the cell [hone for data.

What data plan do you have? I use Cingular and I don't know how many megabits of download I should get. How far will 10 or 20 megs get you for internet browsing? Also, when you are streaming, are you actually downloading? Because I would also would like to listen to some live radio streams on my BN.
