Default How much DATA do I need for the Bold

Please Login to Remove!

Hi All,

I am going the route of the blackberry bold for my first ever blackberry.

Rogers Wireless my carrier in Toronto, Canada has either a 1GB or 3GB plan.

I don't know how much I should get. I don't want to pay for the 1GB and keep going over but also don't want to pay for the 3GB and go majorly under everymonth.

PLEASE HELP I'M SO CONFUSED!!!!

Wirelessly posted (off to see the wizard)

I constantly use 3-4 GB data on my BB

Really depends on what you will be doing. Mostly email and messaging or a lot of interent

IMO, I used 95MB last month, I get about 25 emails / day, never hesitate to surf on the net, gone to youtube a few times and also tethered to my laptop and used RDP for a couple sessions, and streamed radio while golfing about 4 or 5 times (3 hours each). I tried to use the crap out of it to see how much i can actually use and was kinda disappointed that i only used 95MB. I dont think i will ever hit the 6gb that my plan offers.

I am amazed that ezrunner pulls 3-4gb of data.

do the math, its easy.
Nutsie streaming eats up alot of data, each song is almost 3mg, listen to 30 songs a day and you are already at 90mb daily, on a 6Gb plan you can use on average 196mb daily.
