The tariffs are what I expected, overpriced.
Disappointing lack of choice for the 24-month column
You must be mad to get a 24 month contract - no upgrade for 2 YEARS!Quote:

Otherwise 600 mins, 500 texts for £34.26 is the same as the usual O2 tariffs, but you also get unlimited web and Wi-Fi wheras the regular tariffs would only give one or the other of those...
They have been offering 2 bolt-ons for a long time now, I have 2 bolt ons 800 mins and 1000 texts for £35 a month with an XDA Orbit II, and my contract is up this month, but I am waiting for the Xperia X2 or something similar.Quote:

Must be...Quote:

Do it via the retentions team, you get a LOT more for your money, esp if you are on a higher contractQuote:

£27 a month 1200 minutes 1000 texts, unlimited data via gprs (worked with tethering also) and the SE Xperia X1i phone on 18 months for £50, that was 40% discount on the line rental, for less minutes and texts would cost MORE per month
WANT WANT WANT WANT!
i have been with o2 for 6 years, BUT 5 of those were with PAYG, and this year has been with simplcity with 1 month rolling contract.
you think if i try to get out of my contract they will be able to do the palm pre for cheaper, i am also on o2 broadband and form my account my mum pays a iphone 3G contract.
Thanks for the advice :)Quote:

If I don't get the data I might as well have a dumb-phone on a £15 a month sim-only deal...
Anyone know much about how "tethering" works with the Pre, is it as easy as with Nokias PC Suite?
visit www.precentral.net
ITS a haven for pre info, including homebrew, which has tethering.
it has its own homebrew app store, (all free) and MANY of those homebrew apps have made it into the Palm App store. Palm have also stated that any app they may reject, they would be more than happy for it to be on homebrew. Palm has embraced homebrew!
that's actually really goodQuote:
