Any voda peeps know how long that offer will last for?
Is there any confirmation on the 500mb internet, that's a bit crap on a phone like that, would use it up no bother.
my understanding of the unlimited webs after speaking to several people at the weekend;
o2 (when they get it) 500mb - FUP
Orange - 500mb on Dolphin, 750mb on Panther FUP
Voda - 500mb FUP
Tmob - Through resellar 1gb (also on this Tmob throttle before the 1gb is hit), through tmob direct 3gb FUP.
Both people in orange and voda suggested there would be no charge if going past the 500mb but said after a few occasions they would look at the usage and charge if required.
I went to tmob direct, quite competitive but the 3gb is what i wanted as i would rather now where i stand than hammering the FUP everymonth

Anymore info on O2 limiting it to 500mb?
Currently, their T&Cs state that all Web Data Bolt-ons and iPhone contracts offer unlimited data with a fair usage policy. I've heard that they recommend that you keep it to around 500mb but it's never be forced (only heard a few reports of O2 sending snotty letters where people were using 2/3GB+ a month). Is a bit shit if they do make it a hard cap.
Btw, has anyone managed to sort out Skype (i know it's against most networks T&Cs) on the Desire? Look for apps to do free skype to skype calls, i know skype have an app but i don't think it currently supports the Desire. Nimbuzz is another app but i can work out (their website is a bit cack) if the Skype part of it allows for free skype to skype calls?

The guy in o2 last saturday backed up what i had read on the net. He hot a but shirty at first when i asked what the FUP was but when i talked to him a bit more he said nothing in the T&C's dictated what it was but he said as rule of thumb they work from 5oomb, he also gave me the impression they dont state it is so they can change as they please. To be honest, as i said already the consensus seems to be most operators send out a couple of letters etc after several times of exceeding the FUP before they start adding charges

Go onto the market place and get an app called 'Taskiller' and set it up so it keeps killing the apps you do not need running. Will speed up your phone and save battery life!

ignore that task killer isnt needed, the desire deals with all apps itself and task killer fucks this up

mobiles.co.uk is offering it on O2 and as an O2 upgrade. Tariffs are steep and you will have to add data. However looking at O2's prices and pushed back release date you might want to get now.

I don't know what to do,i'm sat waiting on o2 has i'm on a rolling contract but i've got a feeling that i'll wait about and then get offered a shit deal when it is available! Might go on that t mobile 25 quid but the amount of texts and minutes could screw me over if not careful.

well my came and its goine, gone back to tmob, gutted for the time i used the phone at work it was cracking. i got it home, switched it on and my street is completey blacked out no singal what so ever, the rest of the village is ok, am stumped (and yes i did check the street coverage before hand and im even meant to get 3g so they are not sure either). Anyway re ordered this afternoon with o2 (through a resellar - they claim FUP is 500mb, i spoke to o2 they said its a smartphone plan so deffo no cap) get less minutes and less web if i listen to the resellar but at least the phone will be unbranded, was looking forward to my 3gb allowance with tmob ahwell

Anyone set their own pic as a wallpaper?
It's a tall screen but it makes you crop it down to a landscape view 
WTF

Just got mine delivered to work.
It has to be the smallest phone box I've ever had 
Not opened it yet, might send it back after hearing about Voda and the FUP policy charges.
