1 GB a month of data transfer? I seriously doubt it if you're not downloading lots of things onto your phone.
I don't think you really understand how often people in the EU text. I didn't use voice often, but I did send at least 150 text messages per month when I lived in England. Anyway, what I'm saying is that 700 minutes per month is a lot. It's around 23 minutes per day.
Sorry... I *do* understand how Europeans use text. I text with some of them.

I think rather that I did not explain my question well enough.
As far as the data aspect, though, I'm not talking about people doing what they're doing now in Europe. If you're going to do that, the Apple phone is rather a waste, isn't it? What I was asking is how European pricing for the equivalent service profile for an American using Apple's product how they appear to want you to use it would look.
Talking on a phone for ~20-30 minutes a day isn't strange here. I understand that that might be different there, although somehow I doubt every Euro has a profile of usage exactly like you. As far as the texts, that's somewhat more than I send (I send maybe 50 a month). But the texts are going to be a small part of what you could do with a phone like this... text bandwidth is low, but downloading songs, watching google video / youtube type of stuff, and surfing the (real) web is not.....
So, in other words, my point is that, if you try to use this phone on its actual features, high-speed internet access on it is going to be used a lot. And a gig monthly is probably not at all unreasonable. The 500-700 minutes is how much *I* talk to my friends on the phone. I just wanted to know how much that would cost if I lived in the EU instead of the US....
