    I wish! I haven't got an N900 (yet!).

    But that is certainly my intention.

    Ok.
    Perhaps I will buy the N900 sim free and take advantage of the free data for 6 months.
    I don't think i will have the patience to wait for provider offer with small contracts ...

    Since the networks have started ramming 18 and 24 months contracts down our throats, I don't do contracts on principal anymore. Pre-pay (and 1 month SIM only) often has similar deals anyway.

    Just got the following back from giffgaff:

    Also these SIMs can be put into 2G phones and will OK there too.

    Hope this helps!
    That's very good news.

    I read up on this giffgaff (what a name) sim earlier.

    I like that they are open to suggestions as to what rates data should be charged at at the end of these 6 months.(EU reg's come to mind).

    This outfit does seem to be a venture with o2 who currently charge £2.94 per mb so anything below that would be good. Data bundles could be introduced though instead of a per mb charge.

    You must be aware though that the 6 months is from today so if you get a giffgaff card in January say then there will only be 5 months remaining..... that is how I read it anyway.

    Quick note for those trying to get their giffgaff sim working, use

    access point giffgaff.com
    username giffgaff
    password Password

    Leave proxies off, this foxed me for a while. I typed in proxies from giffgaff.com and the connection refused to work.
