Obviously depends how much you use it.
I use mine extensively including tethering and would say 2GB will be fine if you don't tether or stream lots of tv/radio.
There is a datacounter widget you can install to help you monitor it each month.

Wenn du Österreiche rbist kannst du sicher Deutsch 
2GB reicht für einen Normalbenutzer locker aus!
Und OVI Maps braucht nur extrem wenig Daten, selbst wenn nur du nur 2G oder 2.5G Netz hast sind die Karten fix geladen, ich sagmal pauschal ne 100km Route vlt 10-20MB!
Solltest du natürlich am laufenden Meter Youtube Videos schauen oder viel internetradio hören werden 2GB net reichen (30min Internetradio hatten bei mir ca. 60-100 MB, je nach Sender!)
ich hoffe ich konnte dir helfen und du verstehst mich^^

I have a 2Gb cap and while theathering would eat it up I find it perfect for the phone. I have constant e-mails coming in, an ssh connection open all day ever day, I watch news and tv while in traffic (about an hour a day) and still never go over the 2gb limit.
MY battery on the other hand lasts half a day due to this activity.

Do you think that is enough?
What is your experience (monthly use)?
I've just read in this forum that the assisted GPS needs internet connection - I hope, this is the only functionality beside surfing that needs internet...
I´m using 1.3-1.4gb per month now since December.
Most of my heavy downloads probably happen while at work or at home, but still that´s my average. I do tether probably once every two weeks on average as I travel around areas with otherwise patchy internet connections.

it might be that I understood the post well but I don't mind having other languages here.
Point of the post in English: when not tethering, 2gb should be enough for almost anything...

I thought the N900 has a native FM receiver (and sender) and does not need Internet radio (except if you want to listen to foreign stations)?
