So there's plenty of scope to cover the small amount of texts I use (I have a 100 a month at the moment). I guess that's a real benefit of Flext. I'm probably going to sign up for the Blackberry so email is an extra tenner. If you want internet access that's another £7.50 for unlimited use (fair usage policy applys to this, I think the nominal limit is 2GB. That's how miserable the average mobile web experience has been so far for me that even at £7.50 I'm not interested. Or have I just been unlucky with 3's bizzare walled garden policy?

Seriously, I'm in the market, my Vodafone contract comes up for renewal in November and I'm tempted to jump ship. Looking for recommendations. My text use is nowhere near yours though (probably averages 3 or 4/day). Damn, and I thought you were going to tell us!
