Yep, that's absolutely fair. Once I get N900 in my hands, I'll put my default voice-plan T-Mobile card into it and see how it works as a default phone, however I don't expect it to be brilliant phone, but brilliant mobile computer in the first place. Plan B is then to keep T-Mobile card in Nokia E71 and use N900 as internet device with Voda TopUp And Go SIM card inside.

That's good then, I guess we have the correct product number with 3x discount codes on our order

Contract

Tmobile - £7.50 pm 1Gb
£12.50 pm - 3Gb

Vodafone - £7.50 pm - 500mb
£15 pm - 3Gb

O2 - £7.34 - 500Mb

Orange - £7.34 - 500Mb
£9.79 -1Gb
New customers - (£4.89 per month for 500MB of anytime mobile internet access)

3 - Not sure?

Tmobile really seems the best (discounting 3 as I cant find separate internet info)

---

Is pay and go the better option for data/voice?? (For a user that uses VOIP/streaming - ie relatively heavy user)

---

Also anyone on Orange? Whats their data like? Decent connection/ speed? I know o2 are supposed to be pretty poor.

£7.50 is the price to add data month-by-month (and you can remove it again).

If you're happy to add data for the life of the contract, it's £5 per month with T-Mobile UK.

I have been with Orange for 7yrs now as work pay my contract. I have been very unimpressed with their data network, but Im unsure whether that is down to their network or the cheap orange branded WM handsets we get. Orange Firmware is a dog, they remove any functionality from the phone and replace it with the option for their paid apps, so the first thing I tend to do is wipe the phone and install a custom ROM. I currently have a Samsung i780 running a cooked WM6.5, and the web is so slow I dont bother.

One of the reasons I have bought this phone is for the web experience, so Im going to try Orange for a couple of days, if I dont like it I have a PAC code which I will switch to t-mobile.
Onde thing Orange are though is strict with their data limits, if you go over your tarrif, you will pay the higher data charges, they dont offer the same flexibility other carriers do..

I have had a Tmobile PAYG sim at one time and used the web n walk (when you used to pay per day or in advance for a week) for a few days (waiting for broadband to be installed...) Quite happily used around 200MB a day and nothing happened.

Reading the data plans available in the UK makes me want to cry. I'm in France. Yes, that would make most people cry, but using the frankly strange dataplans over here makes me depressed. SFR's Pay and go has an offer; €69 for a dongle with 3Hrs usage (yes, you are charged by the minute - not megabyte). When you buy it, you have 14 days to post your proof of purchase, along with a copy of your passport, and your proof of residence back to SFR, or else they close your line.
It costs €39 (About £34?) for 15 hours (Fifteen hours) to recharge.
If you want to spring for a full 1 year subscription, you pay €49 per month, and you're limited to 2GB usage per month. You are NOT allowed to put the sim in your phone, NOT allowed to use a router, NOT allowed to use Skype, NOT allowed to use Xbox live nor Playstation online. etc etc.
Other companies such as Orange also charge per minute for pay and go, at a worse deal.
God, I miss the UK....
