As I mostly just need it for a day at a time £10 minimum topup is a bit of overkill for me, but it might be good for others

Nope.

Thats because its pretty much nonsense, its the name of a goregrind band and also an unpleasant illness.

Think I'm heading the iPhone way too now. I want a phone that "just works". This is very well demonstrated by the lack of apps on my WM phone. The fact that I already own a Mac makes the iTunes situation a no-brainer too.

Going to book a "personal shopper" appointment at an Apple store and get a proper demo to make sure everything does what I need (particularly the screen and virtual keyboard). By that time the Hero should be out so I can do a comparison, but I really can't see much against the iPhone now.

Guess I'd better check my Orange contract to see what the notice period is, then I'll PAC it a week before.

As for the dongle situation, MB has that right too - I don't want a £10 top-up with a 'use it or lose it' 30-day limit. I'm a very occasional user of 3G data (maybe 3-4 times per year).

£30 up front and £2 a day, ideal

If you never use it you never pay for data

I liked the look of that deal...

Didn't like the price of the dongle as I'll not be needing it (built in 3G modem on my Dell)...

Purchased a simcard from ebay for 99p...

All is good

On an o2 and data related topic, I always have trouble using my internet if I am somewhere busy (like when I go to football) its like there are too many phones in one area at a time, and the network cant cope. I struggle to access the net in places there are lots of people.

I'm not that keen on it tbh but I have to prize the iPhone out of Jaime's hands when she's been playing it.

It is exactly what you say - too many phones, too little capacity. All networks suffer from that. Numerous times I've been downloading fine until I get to the approach to Paddington, when it all stops, even though I have good signal. As previously stated, I'm currently on Orange.

Just found out that you can't get Visual Voicemail on PAYG. I don't see me using that much anyway so c'est la vie.
