I upgraded to an N73 a month ago on Vodafone. I would have loved to move to TM, but they just didn’t have the handset (and I didn’t want to buy one for cash just to use on TM).

I live in hope that Vodafone will bring out a sensible response to T Mobile’s web ‘n’ walk and 3′s 512Mb package.

In terms of coverage, Voda is a good choice. Better to have expensive 3G data than free GPRS!

I’ve just moved to T-Mobile based on the data deal (it’s actually 2GB), but I’ve not spoken to anyone yet who has been told to cease and desist for exceeding the allowance.

Too early yet to say if I’m going to be a big user or not, but at least I can try without getting a nasty surprise at the end of the month.

Usability, now that’s the next big challenge! So far the Opera browser is the best find – it’s really make a huge difference to the user experience. Well worth the £15 or so.

Also, I’d like T-mobile to look at their pricing for wi-fi access. I think doing some limited minutes as a low cost add on to web’n'walk would be cool.

Incidentally, I’m using the Vario 2 – it was a painful decision to move from my S60 Symbian. If I was rich like Ewan I’d buy a Nokia E61 (unless of course anyone from Nokia’s PR team is reading this and would like to send me a nice review one…..)

So far I think the Symbian platform is superior to Microsoft, but this could just be until I get familair with the Vario.

I use a unlimited data plan (the only operator to offer it in India is Airtel) and use about 425 MB per month on my non-multimedia BlackBerry 8700g. Since I am now getting the Pearl I’d be using it a lot more especially for mobile blogging.

I’d love to see more operators come out with unlimited data plans. At least that way you don’t worry about your data bills.
