Looks like I might be playing hookey on the morning of the 11th as I definitely want one now - stuck on T-Mobile contract until September/October. The £35 plan Im after is perfect for my usage considering I pay more like £42.50 already for similar service...
Can this be used like a WM device as a network point if you want to surf the net from a Laptop?

On the information that was leaked on the 02 site, the PAYG plan was detailed with a 6-month unlimited data plan.
After which, it will cost £10 a month to maintain the unlimited data access.
All. Been looking at an iPhone now, since my missus is jealous of my iPod Touch.
Am I correct in reading the O2 stuff online in that data is unlimited. So that's data via Wi-Fi (via Cloud or BT) OR data via 3G??
If so, I guess that means my wife now effectively has a phone that she can use to send emails for free to her friends and family in Japan.
How does mail work on the iPhone. Does it pull mail down off the server, or do you have to force it check for email?
If so, it pretty much works in the same way as Japanese 3G phone (they don't do MMS there, only rarely SMS and primarily email).
One area of concern was Japanese font support. My iPod Touch (Japanese purchased) has all languages for display and text input. According to the spiel on the Apple website, Japanese is a supported text entry language, but when we saw a iPhone V1 in the shop, it didn't have a Japanese keyboard option. Anyone know if this is changing?

If you sign up to an 02 contract you'll have unlimited data.. cellar and Wi-Fi data through the Cloud hotspots.
PAYG will be unlimited for the first 6 months. After that, it'll cost you £10 a month.
You can have push email if your account supports it (Mail is "pushed" to the phone as soon as it arrives), or you can set the phone to check at periodic intervals. 1 week, 1 hour, 15 minutes etc.
They have added a full Japanese keyboard, and 2 forms of chinese input (Traditional and simplified) and a sweet option where you can draw the character with your finger, and select the nearest match using advanced character recognition
Hope this explains.. I suggest watching the Apple WWDC 2008 keynote video from the Apple.com/quicktime site.
It shows a lot about the added languages

I feel special, if they give me it for free....well...hats off to O2 really. I'm on the £35 tariff.
*Waits for download to finish*
While we're here.. anyone elses @me.com email address working?
I sent a test message to my address (@me.com) and it came through fine
Mine works.
Did a test a couple days ago after seeing the mac rumours article.

Not as it, probably a 3rd party app will let you do it at some point.

About half an hour ago.
Edit: it's pretty much a carbon copy of the text that was mentioned previously.
No, that's not the right John Appleseed. The proper John is the MobileMe guided tour one.

How did you do that? Have you got a previous edge iphone?
Some places have waiting lists to get your name put down.
Even though they have been told by o2 and Apple not to. So the chances of you actually jumping the queue are very slim.
