I call that "rip off" of course! a data plan that is drastically cheaper than any other data plan being offered by competing carriers, and one without any contract whatsoever, is a rip off. they should have made it more expensive to match what's out there. crazy. > >> And its going to cost you reams of dough > >> if you are overseas > > > > get a local sim and it won't be, but you can't see through your hatred > > to think of these things. > > Yes, always "just buy another one".

What is the value of putting a "category" label on it? The question of _practical_ value is does it have what you want or not? Then you can answer, should you buy it or not?

FWIW, I recalled my sizes incorrectly: 2-3MB is for an 8MP JPEG. For an 18MP JPEG, it grows to around 5-6MB. Both are at the camera's maximum ("Fine") JPEG setting, so minimal compression. > > Plus an alternative is to email is to FTP it.
