It is still in operation if you just hit the escape key instead of closing it.

What type of plan do you have?

i have a BIS 1GB data plan from Rogers, im not too worried about going over it, just wondering how the apps run in the background!thanks for the quick reply

Msn uses very little data in the background.

I leave it running a lot. In addition to that, I browse frequently everyday and I got about 32mb of data my first month.

Man, that's a lot of data you're moving.

I was very surprised when I got my bill. I thought for sure i was near my 500mb limit but I was nowhere near it.

Its such a shame i can't get youtube to work properly or i'd probably be using it alot more.

Its so crazy the difference in amout of data the blackbeery and iphone use. I used to use nearly a gig easy with my iphone. This is my first month witha blackberry so ill be surprised to see the difference. If you guys are saying 32 mb is a lot, I think I'm in good shape. Has anyone ever surpassed 500mb with blackberry in a monthly period without tethering?

It can be done yes.

If you use a lot of streaming radio or video it will rack up pretty fast. For just browsing and msn it won't rack up too fast.
