I'd actually been using exchange push functionality on Windows Mobile 5 for the last couple of years, and with the new 3G handset I got a traffic reporting application; while I don't have the fine grained info you're talking about, I was amazed just how much traffic 2kb per email and leaving a skype session running could actually go through.. I'm yet to do any surfing or using the device as a wireless modem - its next job when I can find time to configure it - but I'm already punching through 5Mb per day without trying...<BR/><BR/>I guess the tip for anyone out there using per KB GRPS style data pricing is to get in touch with your carrier - I'm on a wireless internet plan for my handset, which means I can - and will when travelling - go through my new 2GB/month or 60Mb/day allowance pretty quickly.<BR/><BR/>As an aside, I was pretty excited to finally see Skype's killer application. Would you believe, it is as a phone? I just needs to live in a phone, not a computer. Messaging, calling and more for only the cost of data, with a persistent and rich IM environment... I'm so hooked.Geoff McQueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06870705037178528411noreply@blogger.com
