Hi, all. Just picked up the HTC Hero from TELUS a week ago. Not really my phone of choice, but it was cheap ($50 with 3-year subsidy + $50 trade-in rebate from HTC = $0!).
I'm not big into downloading a zillion apps, but I am looking for one that will accurately record usage on my phone. I've found a few (NetCounter, Phonalyzr, 3G Usage, etc.) but none of them do everything I need. For instance, my plan has the following features:
I'm looking for an app that is flexible enough to handle the above configuration. It should also be able to differentiate between 3G vs wifi data, and incoming vs outgoing voice and SMS. I can tell the app the cost of my monthly plan plus incremental costs, and the app should be able to calculate how much I owe at the end of the month. I don't do much LD or roaming, but if it can track that too (maybe do a best guess based on area codes and such), that would be fantastic.
Detailed analysis would be a great feature, or at least a way of exporting the raw data to the SD card. Phonalyzr doesn't go quite far enough for me. For instance, it will show you your weekday/evening/weekend breakdown of calls, and it will show you your incoming/outgoing ratio, but not both combined together (e.g., incoming/outgoing ratio specifically during weekdays).
A small widget with a graphical indicator of minutes/MB used would be great.
I did a few searches on Google and here, but did not turn up anything promising aside from the apps I mentioned above. Does anything exist with this feature set?

- 300 anytime voice minutes, $0.40/min thereafter
- free voice minutes between 6:00 pm and 7:00 am on weekdays, all day on weekends
- free incoming local minutes
- free calls on birthday
- 1 GB of data per month, $0.05/MB thereafter
- unlimited incoming and outgoing SMS
