OK question, so can I still use BBM when I'm out of the country? Or is that additional data?

I had a really slow 3g issue so I turned on wifi and everything was fine once the logo turned white.
Even doing normal browsing i notice a speed increase once wifi connects.
As for traveling with the Bold:
I came back from Vegas not too long ago and I noticed that wifi doesn't work when data services are disabled. I didn't bother with using any data while roaming but I think it's somewhere around 5 cents per KB. May not seem like much, but it'll add up real quick if you aren't careful.
I also had really bad battery life while roaming. The battery wouldn't even last 12 hours on standby. I was on AT&T and even tried switching to 2G only and it made no difference.
edit: Bolds were everywhere in Vegas lol
edit2: Found this on the Rogers website regarding roaming email + data usage.
"††Unlimited E-mail on BlackBerry includes unlimited email when using your BlackBerry on the Rogers wireless network. Standard roaming rate is billed at 3¢ per kb in the United States and other countries. Customers with Unlimited E-mail on a BlackBerry plan will be billed at only $0.006 per kb while roaming in the USA, Puerto Rico or the U.S. Virgin islands."
"U.S. roaming is $0.006 per KB and international roaming is $0.03 per KB when you subscribe to a Data plan. If you subscribe to a Flex rate data plan, the U. S. roaming is $3 per MB and international roaming is $0.03 per KB". If you subscribe to unlimited on-device browsing rate, both the U. S. roaming and international roaming is $0.03 per KB.
Outside of North America data usage is rounded up to the next 20KB."

Nope. The flex data plans are completely different. They don't have a set amount of data per month.

Just got my BOLD!
got a question:
when I loaded an episode of Sarah Connor Chronicles in avi format onto a microSD card, and tried to play it, the phone has trouble playing it. The video is choppy and after a couple seconds the audio becomes unsynchronized as a result.
Would I be able to correct that with a higher speed class MicroSD card?

And Chronicles FTW!!!  | |

I managed to use 351MB. No tethering.
There's no way you'll get even close to 500MB unless you tether.

I got my Bold without signing up for a data package. I'm constantly around wifi at work and home so I didn't bother with data.
Rogers agreed to block data access so I never get charged in case I accidentally access it. (The block failed once and they agreed to reverse the charges, and put on another block)
To be sure, I set my phone to 2G.
However, when I'm connected to wifi, I am not able to access the browser for internet. Even though the screen says I'm connected on wifi, when I try to get into browser, it says "You are not currently in an area that can handle data communication. As a result, the browser cannot retrieve any Web pages."
Anybody knows why? Do I have to set my phone back to 3G?

Since you have data disabled on rogers' end, I don't know if the trick will work.
