Nokia N900

I have been totally put off getting this from DMPO since their Voda deals are 500Mb fair use phone internet and I know I would go over this every month which would make the contract lots of money on data alone otherwise i would be all over this like beans on toast. Who offer good data rates of say at least 1gig pm, O2 give iPhone peeps real unlimited internet and wifi cloud access do they do the same for web bolt on?

In their T&C they mention something along the lines of no teathering, but really, why use 3g data when local wifi is faster?
 
Tmobile offer fantastic rates.. 1Gb as standard, upgradable to 3Gb or 10Gb. Plus no issues if you go over. Their data rates are fantastic which is why Ive stuck with them. One way could be sign a contract with tmob with a decent phone, sell the phone and buy the N900.. Bit of a hassel but thats effectively what I did.

You mean the cloud or some random open wifi you scan for. What I meant of the big four offer the same data package of the iphone but for a non iphone and I would guess no one :(. I just know I would be over the 500Mb and really want an N900 and not an iphone.

You arent considering others, if you want to use data on the move wifi just isnt an option. HSDPA is plenty fast for streaming video/Skype etc. Tmob say no tethering but dont enforce it..

OO thanks for that that, might have to give em a ring and see if they getting the N900 at the end of the month like O2.
 
No I mean, how will you use 500mb limit through the "normal", only if you are being cheeky and using say skype voip to get free calls, which ironically makes no money for the provider and hence why all such things have rediculusly low and expensive on per mb limits. Or torrent on the move.

Or watching videos 24/7, and odd you tube vid here and now on the go will not make you go over the limit. And when you are home, just your your own wifi. That was my point, just badly expressed. Browsing "normally" again isn't that taxing even on the go.

I go over 500Mb - I use Skype (very occasionally), tether, podcasts, BBC iPlayer (at times) youtube, Spotify etc Its really easy. 500Mb is nothing.

Fair enough then, I am surprised that it manages to cope with iplayer though.

Using tethering to my laptop. It doesnt work with iplayer..yet anyway, I expect Flash 10.1 to fix that (it plays iplayer but very choppily)
 
That is pleasing, even if there are only a few apps, most of which have been on repository for a while. The browser is slightly snappier at loading as well, we shall see battery life today.
 
Is there a good media player that displays all your music by folder structure as well as by artist/album/etc.?

and do i need to back up all my contacts and what not before i do the update?
 
The bulkiness puts me off tbh. 19.4mm thick........Jeeee-susssss!!!!
It dwarfs my HTC Touch Diamond (which is cak btw). Was looking into the N900 or the N97 mini as i deployed one of those just before xmas and it seems ok.
