O2's "unlimited data" bolt on for £7.50/month is limited to 200MB a month and excludes using the phone as a modem, IM, voip, P2P, video and tv streaming. So no playing with Qik! <a href="http://www.o2.co.uk/termsconditions/tariffsandboltons0153" rel="nofollow">O2 T+Cs</a> Still I guess you can do *lots* of pure surfing before hitting 200MB!

Ewan, you are spot on - after my £40 data bill I was afraid to use anything connected, until the unlimited tarriff came alive. Now, I feel liberated, like i know T-Mob / 3 users have been for a long time now... Unlimited (ahem) data at £7.50 is now available on O2.

AARGH! They only spent £xmillion because they were being charged £2.35 per meg dammit! I remember reading something similar at the beginning of the Summer re: The Big Red, along the lines of:

Then, you have the novelty of downloading maps, weather info, music and YouTube videos. A lot of that will get old after the first couple of months but the point is, there are a lot more worth while things to download on the iPhone compared to other cell phones.
