Another thing that is really buggin me. Many of the N900 deals on vodafone come with 'unlimited' internet. After reading their 'fair usage' policy i find out this is VERY far from the truth. I totally understand why fair usage has to be put in place and i do agree with it but vodafone seem to think that 500MB is fair! WTF? 500MB! ...ill use that up in a couple of days! Officially the worst 'unlimited' deal I have ever seen!

rant over.

I really doubt you will use that in a couple of days, unless you are downloading ridiculous amounts of media or the like, which is not what mobile internet is really for. Everything really has a 'fair usage', always, even if it does say 500mb. And they don't charge you if you go over, they contact you etc. unlike other networks.

And it is one of the best 'unlimited' deals - other networks can be as low as 200mb.

If you were on O2 and in Central London then you'd be impressed to manage 500MB in a month - the iPhone saturation around here has killed any chance of sensible download speed regadless of the hardware you have!

You're telling me - today tried to navigate to buy something on ebay - took soooo long, ridiculous speeds. Can't wait to get off o2, not which are better though Vodafone or T-Mobile.

I am using T-Mobile for quite a while now, obviously it's not perfect and they have occasional hiccups or coverage gaps (which may well be because of E71 having poor radio sensitivity), but overall I am quite happy with them. I was actually contemplating moving to Vodafone with N900, just to try them out, but I decided to stick with T-M. Firstly, because I've popped Vodafone's pay as you go SIM card for few days and used it on daily basis and haven't really spotted much difference. Secondly, a friend of mine also buying N900 on contract is coming back to T-Mobile from Vodafone, as he was happier with T-M. Other fact is that my wife's number is on T-Mobile contract too and we do use a lot of Family service, so it wouldn't make sense to split numbers by networks in this case. :)

However, I really hate the idea of T-Mobile merger with Orange, so I seriously think to leave them once the next contract expires..

I've been wondering which is the better of the two. Have been with 3 for ages and signed with T-Mobile for the N900. Am still not 100% sure if that was the best decision

See - i'd love to get it on T-Mobile, I too have been with them and really much prefered their service, minus a few black spots in central London. But MDP and the Vodafone-a-rama business... I still don't know what to do..! I think after tonight, if no mention of contract and I (highly doubtful anyway) don't win the phone, I'll get it on MPD on Vodafone. Only choice left!

Depends whether you prefer to get N900 asap, or wait a bit for a better deal. If the latter, I'd wait until N900 gets in stock in NFS ("we are just expeting delivery, it could be anytime now", as I was told over the phone less than an hour ago), then go there and ask if you could get it with T-M. I have a feeling they might offer that in-store, but not sure either. Time will tell. :)

Yeah, but thing is, don't know if I can bear the wait! Plus, according to a few, the deals at NFS aren't exactly the same as MDP. And I don't want to be stuck on a 24mnth contract.

I'm going to try them though. I'll try and ask tonight as well if I get the chance.
