That's loaded question. If I e-mail you a 1MB photo, I've just burned
your whole month's allotment.

Seriously, get the unlimited. Assume an average e-mail is about 3K
including headers and overhead, if you get 10 e-mails a day you'll use up
the 1MB/month on e-mail alone.

Just checking now, each page on Amazon's _mobile_ website (not the "real"
Amazon) seemed to run about 5k. 1MB gives you 200 pages like that a
MONTH. That's if you don't get any e-mail at all!

I'm all for being cheap, but if you don't get the $20 unlimited plan,
you'll pay $10/MB for overages.
