<html><body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><div>I used to work for Voda. There Dara network is the best fir speed, they offer upto 7mb speed across the whole country alledgedly but they have arigourously enforced 500mb data limit per month. O2's data network recently has been prone to "outages", which have been mostly unexplained, more detailed info can be found on the register website. Although that said using my iPhone on O2 has always been a very satisfactory experience. <br>

I wouldn't know about Vodafone, but so far O2 has been the best network for data connections, and they're pretty cheap too - you can usually just have a Mobile Web bolt on for £7.50 and it's "unlimited".<br>

Greetings all,<br><br>First of all let me wish you all of you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I wanted to ask some advice about mobile phone networks. You may have seen recently that I was lucky enough to be sent a new N900 from Nokia on trial. Originally I thought they'd only let me keep it a couple of weeks and I'm just using my PAYG Orange SIM card right now. It works but isn't brilliant on cost obviously. Yesterday I found out that I'll be allowed to keep the N900 for a few months to "try out the Maemo platform" were their words. So I'm looking at SIM-only contract deals with good data provision in the UK.<br>
<br>It seems that 02 and T-Mobile have the best offers. Both of them have a plan for just under £20 a month with the same amount of included minutes, SMS and "unlimited" 3G Internet, the important part. They both seem to have 1gb per month fair usage policies, but I've heard they don't enforce them that heavily. I know some of you are with one or other of these networks so I wanted to ask for feedback on which you found best? Which has the best coverage in Liverpool and what are the data plans like? Anything I should know?<br>
<br>So what's you're thoughts, T-Mobile of O2? Maybe you can suggest another network. Orange and Vodafone deals looked rubbish compared to these and Three SIMs don't work in the N900, not sure why.<br><br>Thanks for your help,<br>
