WM 6 shuts off the Data Radio if Wifi connected. You can see it on the comm manager menu.

Definitely turn it off when out of country or you'll come home to a nasty data bill.

Data in Germany was either $19 or $29 a MB.

Don't remember which, just remember getting the notification when I hit their network and being shocked.
I'm going to be switching to AT&T for the phones soon. They do have out of country roaming plans, which keep the data costs down. I wouldn't switch if this we're the case.

T-Mobile is the DEAL with out of country data. If you are signed up for Blackberry International Data ($20/mth), you have international unlimited data. And 3G enabled in Mexico. Unfortunately, data inside the US is limited to EDGE, which blows compared to 3G.
