Amsterdam SIM for GPRS
Are there any prepaid sims out there that include some GPRS access? I'm heading to amsterdam for afew days and I'm a bit worried about my Blackberry roaming costs 
If not, whats a good place to get them for making calls? T-mobile charges $.99/min for calls while there and I'd love to find something cheeper.
Thanks

1) A Prepaid GPRS sim will not work in your Blackberry, at least not for data. It may work for voice if your phone is unlocked.
2) The T-mobile Roaming costs are really pretty low for data, my average cost for a week of email (around 100 mails a day) is under $15/week.
3) Yes, most will let you do prepaid GPRS; T-mobile NL charges EUR0.15 per 10kb of data on a prepaid sim.
4)Your US sim charges $0.015 cents per KB according to T-mobile USA for data roaming.
