To be honest the 'extras' are pretty nice too if you read that page.
No hotlinking

The 12 month plans are a lot more attractive than the 24 month ones. In 12 months time the market for 4G contracts should be a lot more reasonable.
12 months with 5Gb and the Note2 works out at £772, which is the price of the phone (say £500), plus £272 - so around £23 per month for the plan. Not quite so horrendous, as long as you aren't planning to use mad amounts of data (e.g. tethering and p2p).
Of course, this assumes that the 4G service starts right away. If you're going to be waiting a few months for the service to start in your area, then the value disappears.

My thoughts exactly. Also I'm in London too so I'll be okay with it!
Telling people about these plans and what one I plan to get they think I'm mad but they don't give time to understand that in actual fact they can be good deals, considering. Nice to see people seeing the same as me.

I just think it isn't on their site as text. However more than one site that have had info from EE say the same. Another:

Very interesting thanks. Guess they're not shouting about 12 month contracts because they want to rinse people over 24 months

You are probably spot on.Very interesting thanks. Guess they're not shouting about 12 month contracts because they want to rinse people over 24 months
Another for good measure:

My Note 2 turned up this morning and............I'm not sure I like it.
I really don't like Touchwiz at all. Coming from a OneX it feels rather crude to me. Also kinda ugly.
Battery life is great as we all know but meh, I dunno, I sort of feel cold by it. Not sure why to be honest. The screen isn't as sharp as the one in my OneX and colours look un-natural to me.
I'll play with it some more tomorrow but if I still feel the same it will be returned and I'll stick with my OneX.

I ordered a Note 2 LTE PAYG from Orange (£599) and the 12 month option looks very tempting...But I am not sure how soon I will hit the 5GB threshold with speeds like that..
Does the live TV get counted out of your allowance?

I am going to upgrade to an LTE noteII this week, but will keep my existing contract rolling.
It has a 250mb limit, but I opted for a "Cap" when data usaqge was very new, which means I can use as much data as I like. I never pay more than the 250mb allowance. Orange have been trying to get me to move contract for years!
However, with 4g projected to only cover 70% of the UK by the end of 2013, I don't see the need to pay the premium for the 4g contracts until at least then.
8mb/s unlimited on my existing 3g contract is more than enough

A question about the phone rather than service providers for a change
Why does 'Gallery' choose how much to show me dependent on what App I'm accessing it from? If I just go to it normally through the menu I get say 20 albums all with different stuff in them. If I want to attach a picture to an email through the Gmail app though, I only get say, 4 albums (the usual ones like camera shots, etc), so I can't chose a picture thats in any of the 16 missing albums.

Do you find it quite slow when the phone loads the galleries? mine is, takes ages to load the folders?
Are you sure the albums that are missing are physically on the device? I would imaging they are more likely to be Google Photo albums, so when it comes to attaching to an e-mail, you can't as you don't physically have the photo's on the phone, they're in the cloud... No?
Probably also because it's checking albums in the cloud.
It loads everything very quickly I've found. In checking that I've actually answered my question above too. Gallery when accessed through the main app shows me all my Dropbox folders with images in them as well, but Gallery accessed through another program does not. It also shows me Movies through the main app and not accessed through Gmail.
Why not just show me everything I can see when I access 'Gallery' normally?

How does everyone organize their music collections? I'd have though the most obvious solution would be by artist but it keeps dividing one album into loads of different ones if a song is featuring someone else. In effect it classes one artist as loads. Very annoying!
