I have been on O2, T-Mobile, Vodafone and Three. As I recall all of those networks block certain sites/services by default and you have to ask for the content lock to be removed, so your argument is flawed on those grounds.
Voda do suck though, I never had such a hard time making/receiving calls as when I was on Voda, but that might have been the crappy handset they gave me on that contract. It would ALWAYS claim a 3G signal and then right in the middle of a call drop to 2G and instead of switching gracefully it would cut off my call.

Conclusion......it is the networks.

I wouldn't be surprised if its Vodafone's 'check' process that is holding it up for all.

I'm in the UK and I flashed to the global firmware to update to 1.3, but now I can't set up Mail for Exchange, doesn't even show up as a choice under service providers. Anybody else have the same problem?
