Excellent news, and makes me glad I got the Galaxy S2 for my wife on T-mobile and myself on Orange (and at 15 a month, makes me rather gloatful over all these 2 year @ 30-40 quid iPhone muppets )

Good news!

Wonder how long it will be till Orange get rid of T-mobile.

So, do I have this right in my head:

Will both brands will now be running on one network, like how GifGaf runs on O2? Everything Everywhere is the actual network, Oragne and T-Mobile are just virtual networks on top of that. So there isn't really any roaming, it's just one massive network, with the cells that would have been overlapping just allowing for more capacity etc.

I had better be.....they cannot really afford to turn any of the 3G network off......it's already ridiculously over-subscribed
