You may not use your SIM Card:
* in, or connected to, any other device including modems;
* to allow the continuous streaming of any audio / video content, enable Voice over Internet (Voip), P2P or file sharing; or
I ask because I use O2 already for a GSM-only phone provided by my work, and it would be easier to stick with O2 if I upgrade to an N900.

I have o2 unlimited web, it came free with my upgrade. I will be using it with the n900 when it arrives. On the bill it says my allowance is 2GB I have once gone over this and nothing happened. I have heard if you have persistently high usage they may have a go at you, but I haven't heard of anybody that this has happened to. Frankly I struggle to go over the limit in the month, and I do use it for youtube etc what stops me going over is when I am near free wifi e.g. at home I use wifi.

Maybe I'm being stupid, but I can't see how that makes it £331.83, it should be either £349.30 or £360.53 depending how you want to calculate it
Edit: Another thread has been started, was the £331.83 price a typo?
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...818#post360818
1st code = 15% off of full price of £499
2nd code = 15% off of price remaining after 1st discount
3rd code = 15% off of price remaining after 2nd discount code.
Some people got a cashback off in addition and finally fast shipping was an additional £9.99
Hope that helps some.

I suspect this clause is really only for the idiots that use it for their desktops instead of a fixed line.

You might want to get that calculator out 
The odd price was thanks to the customer rep including a battery discount
http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=224
I had used the 3 discounts too and was confused by the new price hass had after re-ordering.

Last I heard you can't use multiple codes anymore. But I'm sure there must be a 15% code somewhere (I haven't been looking since I placed my order), and if you use it alongside a cash back site you can still make a decent saving.
# The Web Bolt On allows you unlimited use of Telefonica O2 UK Limited's Edge/GPRS/3G networks (as applicable to your handset), for personal internet use via your mobile phone. All usage must be for your private, personal and non-commercial purposes. You may not use your SIM Card:
* in, or connected to, any other device including modems;
* to allow the continuous streaming of any audio / video content, enable Voice over Internet (Voip), P2P or file sharing; or
* in such a way that adversely impacts the service to other O2 customers.
If O2 reasonably suspects you are not acting in accordance with this policy O2 reserves the right to impose further charges, impose network protection controls which may reduce your speed of transmission, remove the Web Bolt On from your account or disconnect your tariff at any time, having attempted to contact you first.
