as Dom has said its against the o2 T&Cs but you can get apps (once jailbroken) that you can tether the iphone to laptop and use as a modem. however, i know of people who have done this in the states (on AT&T) and been told to stop by the network provider

havent heard of anyone trying it on o2 yet so dont know how theyd react to it

Or do what i did, purchased iPhone on ebay for £300, stuck an 02 3g PAYG sim card in it, called up O2, they activated the 12 months unlimited internet and i top up £10 a month and get 500 free txts and use the £10 on calls but most of the time i have £7-8 left at the end of each month.

Tarrifs and prices are set by o2 and apple. What it says on o2.co.uk is the best u get

Im totally clueless when it comes to mobile phones, but since mine is nearly 5 years old its time for a change.

Been looking at the newest iPhone but have a few questions, Can it be connected to my laptop so I can get mobile broadband at work? Currently using a 3 mobile broadband USB thing so would be a bonus if I could do away with this.

What are peoples opinions on this phone? looks like its gonna cost about £100 and £35 a month on an 18 month contract
