I have 2 BB 7230 questions for those of you who travel to Europe often (Nick1K)

I'm thinking of getting the 7230 since I can use it in europe and in the states. It will be used in Europe about 75% of the time.

1) For those of you who have roamed in Europe with your T-mobile sim cards in, how have your bills been after the trip? Assume you send and receive a combined total of 40 "light" emails (no attachments) per day, can any of you give me an average per day usage charge?
2) For those of you who have other mobile accounts in Europe (Orange or Vodaphone, etc) will the 7230 work with that local sim card inserted just as any phone would or is it blocked to only accept the T-Mobile sim card? I would like to use my secondary Orange sim card while I'm in France to avoid the roaming charges. I'm assuming it would not work with pay as you go sim cards but rather, with subscription accounts only.

Thanks for your advice and insight!
