And as for the old chestnut of Edge vs 3G, again in my experience I can barely detect the difference. Quite often my browser on the iPhone feels snappier via Edge than it does sometimes on WiFi. Indeed I have stopped bothering to log in to WiFi hotspots such as BTOpenzone where I have free minutes since I can't be bothered as I can achieve equally well what I want with Edge. The exception to that is if I happen to be in a Cloud hotspot since the iPhone logs on automatically. I use the internet very very frequently now on the move, whereas I used to have a 3G phone (an SPV M3100) which I never used once in anger on the internet.”

To be fair the whole 30% of the uk is a blatant fallacy, apparently O2 have upgraded 90% of their network with Edge now, if you're on O2 you will get Edge pretty much everywhere you can get a signal.
