Question for the Smartphone users

[lovemachine]

How many gigabytes and/or megabytes of data do you use a month?
I'm wanting to get my first smartphone, but Monday AT&T is changing their data plans. $25 a month will be for 2 gigabytes. And $15 a month will be for 200 megabytes.

I'm not sure which one is the right one for me.
Thanks!

I used almost 3 Gigs on my iPad last month.

I just don't think I'd use that much of the data. I kind of figured it would be a better deal for me to wait til next week. But I dunno.

i say just do the 2 gb

my wife (who works for AT&T) says 90% of people won't use 2gigs so...

I always use less than one gig per month. But I use wifi everywhere that it is available.

Everyobdy has different usage habits, but I can't imagine myself using several gigs per month. Though I am sure you would have no trouble using it up quickly if you want to watch a lot of video.
I have a friend who watches a lot of programs on his phone. Yet he makes fun of me because I still have a "tiny" 27" tv.

I also have sprint, I am not sure how much I use it a month, but I am sure its crowding the 2Gig because I am on it all the time.

I'm at 3.2 GB this month...halfway through my billing cycle.

May: 750 MB
April: 990 MB
March: 970 MB
February: 1.7 GB
January: 540 MB

I'm a heavy user and aside from this month I was steadily under 2GB.

Get the unlimited before it goes away. Then you'll be grandfathered in. You can always downgrade, but there WILL be new applications that require huge bandwidth coming up and you better get unlimited while you can.

I have a Slingbox, so I tend to use a lot of data. Keep in mind that unlimited is not unlimited with AT&T. Read your user agreement, it's either 4 or 5 GB max, I can't remember which.
