£900 ?? Why add the cost of the contract into things. WTF would I want to use payg for. As for £35 a month I don't think that is bad considering you get :
1gb gprs/edge (Approx £7 - £10 worth)
unlimited wifi hotspot (up to £30 on
freedom to surf for 20 hours)
200 mins
200 texts
Video on most mobiles is pretty crappy anyway and despite owning (at the time one of the most advanced camera/video phones the k750i) I only took one video on it and that was useless.
I fail to see how surfing on the n95 can be anywhere near as fast as on wi-fi on the iphone anyway. I think those that are knocking it are perhaps too tight to buy one and are jealous ;-)
