True, but it would be nice if the plans were, you know fairly cheaper to compensate. From what I can see, they aren't.]]>Jun 10th 2010 10:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/uks-o2-to-impose-3g-data-limits-for-iphone-4-users/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/uks-o2-to-impose-3g-data-limits-for-iphone-4-users/
I don't understand how Steve Jobs in his presentation of FaceTime claimed that apple is first with video-call with hand held devices. Here in Europ we have had video calling over 3g network since 2004-2005, and with no restriction like "iPhone to iPhone". You pick any 3g phone and you can video-call any other 3g phone on other networks regardless of brand or provider. I just saw another presentation on iPhone 4 on apple's site, where one of the developer says "iPhone has brought video calling to the world".]]>Jun 10th 2010 10:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/uks-o2-to-impose-3g-data-limits-for-iphone-4-users/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/uks-o2-to-impose-3g-data-limits-for-iphone-4-users/
All those Facebook updates are just going to have to be cut back! Haha.

O2 are a bit unfair with this (for ALL smartphone users) but are going to make a lot of money. Business users who use the phones for a lot of email and need more data should be allowed more for their money, but who seriously uses that much data with a personal contract.

All iPhone users should be warned about downloading apps direct over 3G (or HSDPA) and just do it through their computer or Wi-Fi to reduce data usage...]]>Jun 10th 2010 10:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/uks-o2-to-impose-3g-data-limits-for-iphone-4-users/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/uks-o2-to-impose-3g-data-limits-for-iphone-4-users/Jun 10th 2010 10:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/uks-o2-to-impose-3g-data-limits-for-iphone-4-users/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/uks-o2-to-impose-3g-data-limits-for-iphone-4-users/Jun 10th 2010 10:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/uks-o2-to-impose-3g-data-limits-for-iphone-4-users/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/uks-o2-to-impose-3g-data-limits-for-iphone-4-users/Jun 10th 2010 10:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/uks-o2-to-impose-3g-data-limits-for-iphone-4-users/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/uks-o2-to-impose-3g-data-limits-for-iphone-4-users/

I have used >7gb in a month before (when Sky Mobile Player introduced streaming over 3G) and didn't hear a word about it. Indeed, on average my use is between 2-3gb, and O2 don't care. Also, other carriers don't tend to charge you for going over your limit, but if you frequently do so they'll warn you first.

I agree it was a bit misleading but if you listen to the keynote you'll hear them say they weren't the first, like they weren't the first for multi tasking or copy and paste, just the first to get it right, I had a Nokia N73 years ago with video calling and even with full 3G coverage it was shocking. ]]>Jun 10th 2010 1:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/uks-o2-to-impose-3g-data-limits-for-iphone-4-users/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/uks-o2-to-impose-3g-data-limits-for-iphone-4-users/

Ditto. Adios O2. I will burn through that 500meg within 2 weeks. I use the sky mobile player alot on my journey home and to work.

I would go back to Orange but there data plans suck worse than the new O2 one!

So it's either t-mobile or 3. And I shiver at the thought of using 3. They make AT&T coverage look positively amazing. ]]>Jun 10th 2010 6:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/uks-o2-to-impose-3g-data-limits-for-iphone-4-users/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/uks-o2-to-impose-3g-data-limits-for-iphone-4-users/Jun 10th 2010 8:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/uks-o2-to-impose-3g-data-limits-for-iphone-4-users/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/uks-o2-to-impose-3g-data-limits-for-iphone-4-users/Jun 11th 2010 7:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/uks-o2-to-impose-3g-data-limits-for-iphone-4-users/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/uks-o2-to-impose-3g-data-limits-for-iphone-4-users/Jun 10th 2010 10:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/uks-o2-to-impose-3g-data-limits-for-iphone-4-users/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/uks-o2-to-impose-3g-data-limits-for-iphone-4-users/Jun 10th 2010 10:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/uks-o2-to-impose-3g-data-limits-for-iphone-4-users/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/uks-o2-to-impose-3g-data-limits-for-iphone-4-users/Jun 10th 2010 11:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/uks-o2-to-impose-3g-data-limits-for-iphone-4-users/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/uks-o2-to-impose-3g-data-limits-for-iphone-4-users/Just because you give it a new, stupid name, it doesn't make it new tech.]]>Jun 10th 2010 11:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/uks-o2-to-impose-3g-data-limits-for-iphone-4-users/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/uks-o2-to-impose-3g-data-limits-for-iphone-4-users/

If you heard jobs in the presentation he mentioned that facetime wasn't on 3G yet because data plans hadn't been sorted.

By the way, my opinion, this would be a harder thing to do without that big T-mo/Orange merger a few months back.
