He has now tried using data on AT&T during a trip down to the U.S. and found his usage for one day amounted to 15MB, consisting of two hours of web surfing, regularly checking his e-mail, a few map lookups, etc, but no video. So he now concedes that Roger's data allocations are reasonable. He just dislikes all the other plan limitations (e.g. voice minutes, SMS, etc.) and costs. Looking around the Internet, I haven't encountered anyone exceeding 600 or 700MB per month with their data usage on the current iPhone. Mind you, 3G might very well change that.
