Have any of you had any roaming bills or overage charges with the new iPad?

My colleague told me a story of his $1,100 roaming charge while in Norway, after reading a dozen emails. Now these stories are trickling in:

“..something has to give: Either consumers will have to get used to paying more or wireless carriers will come under pressure to change their pricing models.”

What about you? Have you hit your limit? Are you paying more? Tell us what you were charged when going beyond; either roaming in another country or going over your monthly limit.
