I wanted to support this site by trying to add it as an rss but they didn't have one :(
You get 35fb of roaming and if I haven't mistaken you can still call mobiles and landlines for free under their 20eur plan. If that is cheaper than what you have in the US, probably go for that? Use a US sim not for data but just so that someone can call you.
Given the cost of phones lately, everything matters! I was seriously looking to buy a new phone since the one I have is showing its age at 4 years. I looked at specifications, performance and reviews. You can buy smartphones now for similar screen, cam & battery specs but widely different pricing. Benchmarks gives me a rough idea on how the performance of a lower priced smartphone will compare to what I have right now or a more pricer phone. Is it the only reason for me to choose a smartphone? No. Is it one of the points that I look at to see how much bang do I get for my hard earned money, absolutely! Given that phones have become outrageously expensive, I want to know how much more I am paying for a given "improvement"
The HTML view help so much when I was in areas with very slow internet. I used it rarely, but none the less, it was nice to be able to count on that if needed. Not anymore, shame.
