If anything, its a great opportunity for carriers to cash in on overages. </p> <p>There is hope though. As Ronen pointed out in his <a href="http://www.berryreview.com/2011/02/22/t-mobile-bucking-the-industry-trend-planning-5gb-unlimited-plans/" rel="nofollow">article about T-Mobile planning 5GB+ plans</a>, some carriers are realizing that consumers want more data! </p> http://www.berryreview.com/forums/topic/where-are-all-these-gs-coming-from#post-10432 Wed, 23 Feb 2011 12:30:50 +0000 babisboi 10432@http://www.berryreview.com/forums/ <p>200gb is A LOT of data. I'm sure the carriers will respond and have a higher allowance of data, but they are gonna take advantage of the data hungry public. If RIM can really implement Data Smart with their new phones, people may flock back to BlackBerries just to save money. Something else RIM should use to its advantage. </p> http://www.berryreview.com/forums/topic/where-are-all-these-gs-coming-from#post-10426 Wed, 23 Feb 2011 12:05:25 +0000 BarracudaBob 10426@http://www.berryreview.com/forums/ <p>Yes, BB users have the advantage with DataSmart.
