Similarly, I'll be in several European countries in the summer, also Russia. Mostly pre July 1, when regulated EU rates fall again. I need good data access.
Looking at various options:
Truphone - no good because I live in the States, and they discriminate against us, around $3/MB
Roamline: 51c/MB in Europe, $1.20 in Russia (data only)
Abroadband - 80c/min everywhere (data only)
Piranha: good calling rates, and data 53c/MB in Europe
O2 - OK calling rates, has 25MB/day in Europe for $3 on pay as you go,
Three - $7.80 for unlimited daily roaming, but not on PAYG, only pay monthly

O2 looks like best deal for data, around 12c/MB
details here: http://www.o2.co.uk/termsandconditio...and-conditions
and you can add more 25MB chunks - just means you need it in a phone, not a MIFI device, to check balance and top up.

is there no other way to get a monthly euro data bundle, say 500MB or 1 GB?

thanks!
