Desmo, where the hell are you that you have such a high Orange signal? Mine never went above 2 bars, no matter where I was!

This is what I got from a speedtest on 3G from Brentwood town centre.

Funnily enough, in the one place where it works really well....at home. I get a full signal on HSDPA at home. Then it goes to **** when I go in to town.

nice link MB - thanks.

if anyone's not opened that, theres a UK networks coverage map; http://www.ofcom.org.uk/radiocomms/i...erage_maps.pdf

After the talk of data speeds in that article, i ran a speed test - 1136/279kbps 3636ms ping on a Manchester server from Chester.

I'm begining to run out of excuses, I think Aitch is impressed at the fact I've held out this long already

A lot of what you said with regards to the fact that you're still managing to hold out - specifically the OS being so locked down - was how I felt.
But not anymore, I'm not planning on jailbreak and i'm just happy with it.

Here is my 3G on my laptop solution

http://shop.o2.co.uk/promo/o2mobileb...tab/Pay_and_Go

£30 up front and £2 a day, ideal

If you never use it you never pay for data

That's a pretty good deal. I'm currently paying Three £10/month for 1Gb but very rarely using it so am looking for a PAYGesque solution once my Three contract expires.

Do it though Quidco and as long as you top up £15 in the first month you get £30 back, as its the college holidays for the next month a months worth of data is fine with me and essentially I have the dongle for free

The fact I've just ordered it pretty much means I'll get an iPhone, I just need to wait for them to come back into stock at mobiles.co.uk so I can get my £60 Quidco through them.
