Well I went to look at the iPhone and had a play and I thought about getting it to use on my existing contract then I realised that I have absolutely no data allowance and as the iPhone relies heavily on downloading data (stocks, weather, maps etc), it would cost me a fortune.

The point is, youve lived without an Iphone in you life untill now, therefore there is no difference in continuing to not have this facitily. I also work for an investment bank and dont need my phone to tell me the current market climate as its fed to me through communications within work all day long

Well yes but I you were saying as if I don't use the stock market at all, I too have easy to this data when i'm at my desk but not if i'm away or travelling etc.
I can live without it, it's just a nice feature

Surely getting the data add on would cure this problem? £7.50 for unlimited isn't it?

Not until the 3G version comes out as only O2 and Orange have EDGE setup in the UK at the moment.

But when you look on the website, it says subject to a 18 month contract. I don't want one.
