you can already see adverts for the n900 PayG (handset) for £395, by the time its gets down to £350 my willpower will have faded and i will buy the damned thing.

Mobbler works fine on S60, cant see any reason why it wont on the N900.
This is what Last.fm staff said here in response to Vagalume & N810:
The N810 doesn't connect to a cellular data network, so it's not a phone.

I'll wait for other offers... I will never sign a 24 month contract. I normally go for 12 months contract but pay about £100 up front.
The n900 cost less than the Touch HD when it was first released so I should at least get a similar deal.
I think I paid £89.99 + £35/month for 400mins + 500txt (12 months contract).

I have ordered from mobilephonesdirect. However, I have not got the WnW option from them.
T-Mobile tell me that all of their Combo 30 contracts include WnW anyways, so I'm not sure what's going on there.
Besides, I want WnW plus, which allows tethering, streaming media and has a higher usage cap. This is not available via mobilephonesdirect but can be added to the T-Mo contract after it has been set up.

I think that started in November 2008.
I'm not so sure 3 can be sharing their coverage with t-mobile as there is big difference in UK coverage, which is a shame, I'm in a good 3 area, but poor t-mobile.

Ofcom's maps would remain the same.

I don't know how far that idea went. I'm a T-Mo user but if I've used a 3 network, it's been so seamless I haven't noticed (which would be the point of course!)

T-mo and 3 are sharing the 3g infrastructure, but it is not something that can happen instantly. As another poster pointed out, it started in nov 08 and is a long and drawn out process. By now many sites will be actively sharing, but still many will not. I can't recall when they say it will be finished by, but I have read that this will continue through the orange merger. Another thing that will continue is orange sharing it's 2g network with 3 as a roming partner
