Oh so I guess there is still no resolution to this issue.

A statement simply tells us that 3rd party apps are flawed, but T-Mobile offers NO answer, neither does Google to forcing ABSOLUTE NO DATA ROAMING.

Why doesnt T-Mobile offer Unlimited Data Roaming on this phone, like AT&T does for their PDA's ($65 per month) and Sprint does for PDA's and Blackberry ($40 per month)

LAME MOVE GOOGLE AND T-MOBILE and Programmers of the software.

The plans have domestic roaming included, however international roaming gets expensive. As a customer I wouldn't want to be forced into a plan that includes International roaming if I would rarely use that feature. I just think it is odd that an application can over ride the phone's data roaming setting.

I would compare it to your phone exiting airplane mode because an application wants to access the data network or you have a text queued to send when you enter the coverage area.

It's not unlimited in the case of AT&T. They charge $59.99 for their "Data Global Add-on to Domestic PDA or iPhone Plan", which includes you 50MB of data in "select countries". This comes IN ADDITION to the PDA domestic data plan, which runs from $30 to $60 per month. OR, you can get "DataConnect Global" plans which includes "unlimited" (5GB) domestic usage plus 100MB or 200MB of international data, at $139.99 and $229.99, respectively.

Hardly cheap, or unlimited, by any means.
