My experience while living in the UK with T-Mobile USA for 3 months is that I have never been slammed with any data roaming charges. I didn't have my BlackBerry at the time but was using my Laptop every day via my Sony Ericsson P900. I think it might depend on how long you have had international Roaming on your account. I had it since the day it was VoiceStream and they didn't offer data roaming so I could just be lucky about not getting the charges.
My best tip would be to call Customer Care and as their data people about the BlackBerry roaming. Might not cost as much as regular data roaming.

I really don't feel like being on the phone wating for TMO CS for 30 mns. Does anyone have any feedback on this.
TIA!
