That's interesting.  DO you think there will be some included wifi minutes
or something then?  Does O2 even have WiFi hotspots yet?

IP CCTV is a good use for a smartphone with decent bandwidth.  It's
frustrating that quite a few still can't be viewed in a browser though.

Have you any info on the EDGE network upgrades?  Would be nice to know
