I'm planning a trip next weekend to Italy for 3weeks. I'm taking my iPhone 4 (factory unlocked) I've ready many posts suggesting TIM for its excellent coverage as I'll be going From Venice-Sorrento-Florence-Rome.
My concern is the amount of data I plan to use. I see on the Sticky that TIM offers 250MB/week for phones, but:
1.) Is it possible to get the 5GB plan (for an iPhone) for one month, as I anticipate I will need it. (250/week wont be enough)
2.) Can I walk into any store that sells TIM get the sim, (cut it). What do I do to activate it for the 5GB Plan?
3.) Would I be better off with Vodaphone? Price does not matter, speed and reliability does.
4.) Where's a place in Venice that I can walk into the second I land to get the SIM that you recommend?

Thanks in advance for your help and experience!!
