Also note that iPlayer only works with the 3G networks of Vodafone and Three at the moment. But since the N900 is crap at iPlayer, thats negligable. and when they do release flash for the N900, you can always use wifi regardless of network.

Three allow audio streaming including Skype but you have to pay extra for that service on top of mobile internet service
.
I use Three's data service (1GB mobile broadband), with a Nokia S60 phone and an N810, rather than an N900, and have found that coverage is in in populated areas, and A roads is fine. It isn't much behind (if behind at all) anyone else these days.

Also, there are no extra charges for Skype and streaming on Three, other than it just eats though your data allowance more quickly. In fact you can cheerfully use skype over data on Three with no voice allowance. So you could theoretically use a PAYG sim with data only in a N900 on Three.
