Hi--

First this is my first post here. And, I'm not even a BB owner. I have a Treo running with Goodlink for company e-mail and Chatteremail for personal with Tmo. (I know that's the enemy but bear with me.) I found this thread since I was charged theh $15/mb fee when I was in Holland for several weeks last spring. I'm a heavy user and the charge was between $30-50/DAY. Yikes! My company was not happy and I don't blame them. So, I'm looking for a cheaper way. Sounds like this plan is.

But, get this. Tmo charged me when I was in Western Europe (UK, NL, CH, F etc.) but when I was in Peru for two weeks and in the Dominican Republic, I wasn't charged anything. My conclusion is that Tmo charges you if they get charged separately for browsing.

Those of us who have been with Tmo for a while will recall that for many years with Omnipoint and Voicestream all incoming overseas calls were free until Tmo figured out how to charge for them. When they started charging, they sent everyone a notice that they were supposed to be charging all along but didn't and now were going to start. Same may be true here.

Anyway, I'm thinking of switching to BB for this reason only since it is so expensive with my Treo. I may try the new Pearl. My only concern is that on the BB my personal email will get mixed up with my company e-mail. On the Treo, they are very separate. Is there any work around for this? Thanks.
