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.

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

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 have a feeling they might offer that in-store, but not sure either. Time will tell. :)

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