I am thinking of buying an additional phone to use in conjunction with the IPhone.
Questions;

1) If I use say a razor or equivalent - and I use 3G for checking email or whatever, will that data be covered under my iphone unlimited data plan?

2) If I buy a blackberry 8800 - same question - will I be able to use the internet access (edge) and not be charged extra since it isnt the iphone?

3) Is there a phone that has a GPS that I can use without paying for a GPS plan? I know that the 8800 has a built in GPS however, I understand that in order to use the GPS, I must subscribe to the AT&T program (10.00 a month).
I also have been doing some poking around looking at the n95, not that I want to spend alot of money on a 2nd phone, but it appears that using the GPS on the N95 doesnt require for you to subscribe to a program or service from At&t. Is this correct? Are there any more phones that have stand alone GPS's that can be used without additional subscriptions?

I went into the AT&T store to buy an 8800 8 weeks ago and walked out with the 8gb iphone, partially because the data was only 20 a month. Had I have known about the N95, I may have waited for it!!!
It seems to be the shiznit.

Thanks for all/any advice!

You will get 3G if you are in a 3G area and have a 3G device. I have used my iphone sim in a razr v3xx and had 3g when I was in a 3g area.

Same here. I swapped frequently with my Iphone and BlackJack before I sent it on its way. No problems with charges using the iphone data plan.

so for clarification, if I have a 2nd phone that I put the iphone sim in, and make phone calls and use the browser to check emails and such, AT&T should know (or care) if I am obtaining data on a device other than the iphone?
