Not that bad at all ! Thats a lot of traffic for everyday use (check email, weather, check javise.mobi , send MMS or two) . I spend something like that for development, using phone a lot every day.

Tamara was taking pictures of Russia and sending them via MMS. I was the one who opened the bill yesterday Roaming GPRS charges are like 100 EUR per 1 MB.

I’ve been almost unconditionally impressed thus far. In the flesh the device looks even more impressive than the store mock-ups suggest. It truly is sleek and elegant. The build quality is light years ahead of my old 6100, with not a creak in sight. Its stainless steel panels add a touch of class reminiscent of the 8800, although the added weight (almost 20 grams) is a double-edged sword. It feels more solid, but I won’t be carrying this in my shirt pocket any more.

And then the screen. It really is amazing. I couldn’t stress this enough.

Features wise, nothing much stands out from the rest of today’s Nokias. I was impressed with the inclusion of Opera Mini pre-installed, which for a change doesn’t drop the GPRS connection after every page load (as plagued my 6100 version, see this article).

So far my only gripe is with the Nokia PC Suite software, not the phone itself. It refuses to play along with my Bluetooth adapter (admittedly a prehistoric 3Com one). Thankfully a USB Bluetooth dongle is only $10, but it means something hanging out the side of my laptop, instead of the much neater PCMCIA card I have at the moment.

As for GPRS costs in Australia, my carrier (Optus) now has a $4.90 cap for 5 MB data per month, which includes flag falls and bandwidth. With images disabled in Opera Mini, 5 MB can go a long way. I knew it wouldn’t be long before Australia caught up with Serbia!

Now, if only GPRS costs in .AU were normal as they are here…
