That's fairly straightforward:

Settings -> Wireless controls -> Mobile network settings -> Untick 'Data roaming' if you don't wish to use it.

Voila!

It's on both phones :
On a home screen with a 1x1 free space - press the [+] "key" - chose Widget, Settings, Mobile

(I have a Norwegian 2.1 Hero, so I do not know it that is the exact "names"...)

Well I travel abroad quite a lot and I've never had any problems with unwanted data roaming. Stay cool
