Not a bad price as you say, and if you're mobile the bandwidth caps are OK, I think. Thanks for that. Not a bad price as you say, and if you’re mobile the bandwidth caps are OK, I think.

Bit of a wasted comment, I know :) Three are up to something interesting on the mobile data front, but I think the press release is embargoed – can’t see it on any newswires or anything, so I’ll need to check whether I can post about it before I do.

I think T-Mobile have a fair-use policy against using the phone as a modem: email and browsing via the phone only. Enforcement is the issue though...</p> I suspect they will maintain phone-specific plans, because the fear is that people use their phones as modems, and this risk is offset a bit by making people buy an expensive phone before being given the data tariff.

Tough shit!" I wonder if they’ll get their arse in gear with non-iPhone data plans, or if they’ll do the same as they’ve done with the crackberry – eg, “don’t have this specific phone? Tough shit!”

Of course, they're going to raise prices by 10% to pay for Apple's cut, though...
