Ben from Mobiles.co.uk has posted on XDA Developers saying that he is "quietly confident" they will get O2 approval on Friday and will be able to start shipping.
I have taken that with a pinch of salt though, and I don't even like salt.

He's also been saying "It should hopefully possibly be available at the end of the week" since the start of November!
I can forsee them having a big song and dance saying that the phone is now available on O2, and then failing everyone on a credit check!

I know, this is what he said though:

I'm still stuck on 3 with 6 months to go on a LG viewty which I HATE! I can get the Touch HD for £425 through work sim free, is it worth it? Seems a lot to pay for a phone!
I had a WM5 device before and I thought it was awful as it crashed about 10 times a minute...I'm hoping thats improved?

No definite answer, but I'd think you can't. It isn't defined as an acutal bolt-on, so they probably won't let you change it. Of course, the phones probably won't every be available on mobiles.co.uk anyway, so it's moot
I have the HD on O2.
On O2's system the unlimited texts is a bolt on. Ive got my first bill which shows 600 mins, 500 texts and free bolt on of unlimited texts. I spoke to a very nice lady in CS and now have unlimited data.
Soldato
That's good to know, cheers
Now, I don't know much about data plans, but unlimited doesn't mean unlimited does it? Isn't it limited to like 200mb a month? Is that a lot if you were to browse the net everyday for say, 15 minutes?

I think O2 are the only ones that offer anything like "unlimited" use. Vodafone are 500mb with their fair usage policy and from what I understand O2 surpass that. The iphone tariffs have "unlimited" use so dont see why there other packages should be any different.

O2 said:
So what part of that is unlimited? They couldn't even use the excuse of 'we don't charge more'...
Doesn't T mobile have a 1GB unofficial limit on the G1?
Soldato
I know, it's a joke. I think they get away with calling it umlimited by covering it up with a 'fair usage policy'. I think it is stupid though. Considering we live in a world where you have to have "WARNING: MIGHT BE HOT" on a cup of coffee, it amazes me that they can hide a 200mb limit and advertise it as UNLIMITED.
Soldato
With the G1 you get 3GB fair use.
It depends on your tariff. Some tariffs have a 1GB fair use.
from what I understand from looking at the main sites, G1 comes with web'n'walk plus which is 3gb limit. only place I know that does it with 1gb is beepy.co.uk
reading on the o2 forum and speaking to someone in the o2 store, they don't have a limit as such(the 200mb is for payg). scarysquirrel where did you find that quote? looking in the t&c it doesn't mention a limit for the pay monthly plans.

To give you guys an idea about internet usage I have a HD on Tmobile (got a 1GB fair usage policy with this deal) and I recieved my HD on the 20/11/08. Now I browse the interent around 15min+ everyday and apart from downloading a few applications for my Touch HD I have used around 60-70mb since getting the phone. I have used GPRS monitor to find this out.
Sagem weren't too bad a few years ago as the provided better quality and performance.
Eek, those are awful quality, like a Sagem phone from years back.
Soldato
Turns out I got it from the PAYG section. As you say, there is no data limit on the O2 web bolt on, just a "fair usage" policy
Result!
