Does anyone know the approximate amounts of data that Google Talk for BlackBerry's uses? Being as obsessive as I am, I like to measure things like that..

Any ideas?

from what rogers said "you would want to avoid all the messenger clients as they are constantly sending data back and forth, it will eat up your bandwith quickly" .. so no dont know exactly how much but enough for me to say FU to rogers and ask why the heck i got a 8700 if i cant use it

well i am on cingular unlimited BB plan and when i asked about IM programs they said that all data would be included under my " unlimited " plan . so maybe that could be an option . is the rogers unlimited plan really " unlimited " ......? if so , thats one way to use IM programs since they use data and thats it .

Thanks for the replies...

My billing period ends today, so I have used it for the past 2 days. I will check my bill breakdown to see how much data was used over that two day span.

I believe that all it comes down to is how much you use it. There is no exact amount I believe. If anything just call up your phones service provider and see how much they charge I believe per minute for there data plan.
