Toadman Hypnotoad join:2001-11-28 Medina, OH	Not for the Businessman This pricing structure makes no sense. Why wouldn't you use a Blackberry and get a flat rate for data. My company ends up paying something like $64.00 a month for unlimited data (including webbrowsing) and I use it internationally (Hong Kong and Thailand just 2 weeks ago).

Which brings up an interesting issue. If the Blackberry has an "all you can eat" flat international rate, why is the iPhone metered? There are a number of stories I have seen but people who switch to the iPhone and run up major bills for international type usage that did not occur with their Blackberry.
