Business execs can't figure this out, duh, aren't they supposed to be smart? Like other new services of the past, this gives execs a chance to act like teenagers...
"They charged me what?! OMG."

iphone/ATT in USA is a Monopoly
It's hard to believe that the DOJ hasn't seen the exclusivity agreement with AT&T wireless and Apple as a monopoly.
If a single company can control the market to such an extreme, the government should step in. Yes, there are other options, but the iphone is exceptionally successful.
Ignorance is not an excuse
Just because the iPhone makes is easy to access wireless data services doesn't mean you have to do it. My Blackberry can rack up the same high charges if I use it incorrectly. Disable wireless data and turn on WiFi while traveling - you'll save a ton of cash.
iPhone is terrible for wireless email
On our BB/BES deployment, 100 emails received/sent a day while roaming is aprox 220KB, on the iPhone the same traffic for JUST emails was 5.2MB... The fact that because the BB device has BES means ALL carriers we deploy with have preferential BB data plans for email as they can identify the traffic and the APN. iPhone has no such luxury as it goes direct from the phone to the mail server.
The iPhone is *NOT* ideal for anyone who is used to a Blackberry style push product and has to travel outside their home network. Be clear or pay the price.
