Any Windows Phone 7 Users On Al?

[terrabytetango]

I purchased an HTC HD7 last week, and I'm wondering if there are any others on AL who use a WP7 phone, and how much their monthly data usage is?

I currently have the 350MB package enabled on my Dialog line, and with Android I would only go like 20-25 bucks over the top.

I dunno about your question, but I DO want to know the story behind your sig!

Also how is the phone?

My sig is from the 'one word' thread we used to have (I think it was deleted when the forum switched over to the new format?) Think of it as proof of concept of putting enough monkeys in a room with a type writer to eventually come up with McBeth

As for the phone, I bought it to use a developer phone (M$ allows us to use any WP7 phone to develop on as long as w register it on the App Hub). It's not nearly as functional as my Desire S, but I do like the minimalist interface and the buttery smoothness of everything. I'm just worried my data usage, because there's no GPRS counter (M$ haven't opened up the network related APIs to us yet).

Welp I've been monitoring the data usage through the Dialog site, and if it is _at all_ accurate, my data usage is ~1.5MB per day. This is with all background data usage services off, polling 3 email accounts and two social networking profiles every 15 minutes through out the day (6am to 7pm).
