A friend of mine was charged about £200 for 6MiB when living in Canada recently! Admittedly, he probably wasn't on the best of tariffs, but still.. £200!
Unlimited data (T-mobile web'n'walk) is about USD12/month extra on most T-mobile contracts. It's not really unlimited - 2Gb cap - but for a phone it may as well be.
Yup - I got a new one this Saturday, and it does POP3, IMAP and SMTP, all with SSL as an option (it even validates the certificate!). Most impressed, I was, until I saw what Orange wanted to charge me for GPRS on my tariff :)
Some of the other UK telcos' data pricing is out to lunch, mainly because they overpaid for 3G licenses and are trying to claw back those costs any way they can.
