Hopefully pick it up at my local carphone warehouse tomorrow, it has already been dispatched earlier today. So should be in store tomorrow.

Looking forward to it, my first smart phone :)

Went for the £35 a month 24 months (I don't pay for it), 900 mins unlimited text.

Now, can someone explain to me how the internet works?

Am I charged per meg or is it non chargable?

Just spoke with our business contact at O2, got to call tomorrow when I pick up the phone and get them to add a policy which will bring the price up to £40 a month, the policy has 750 meg a month and wifi.

Again, free, so don't bother me :)

Ah, that should do you then.

You wont exceed 750MB as I can tell you aren't a smartphone poweruser :p

No, far from it chap!

On average, what would you say is normal usage for a normal smartphone user?

I can imagine I will be downloading a fair few apps to start with, nothing special. But some... Is there a way to keep an eye on what my usage is on the phone?

Interesting...

Why are there no o2 data contracts through places like cpwh/mobiles.co.uk/buymobilephones etc :confused:

A ploy to earn more money? or a genuine attempt to stop people using these 3rd party companies?

Edit: 750mb should be more than enough unless you start tethering (which the HD7 can't do anyway?)

Yea, I triple checked a second ago, nothing on there at all...

Not cool if it's a sneaky way to make more money, it's entrapment if anything.

I honestly wouldn't worry about it, the only way you'll go over that is by tethering (which I dont think the HD7 can do anyway) or streaming internet radio/spotify/etc a lot of the time while you are out and about.

Apps/browsing/email wont push you close to that unless you are spam loading thousands of pages/emails with lots of pictures on every month :p

You are on Wifi the rest of the time at home/work probably, which has no limit or bearing on the 750MB data allowance :)
 
Return your contract now uf no internet is included. You probably have atleas five hundred meg for thirty five a month. Probably a gig

As said above, did you not read? Did you do the classic 'troll' moment, read up to something you thought "I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY REGARDLESS OF WHAT EVERYONE ELSE HAS SAID!", then replied? Or did you actually read the thread and are dim enough that you did not understand?

Happy Friday.
