Yeah, Three's SIM only deal is better than O2's Simplicity equivalent I think. £15 for a rolling 1 month contract with 1GB data, instead of £20 & 500MB data. 300 mins on both, with unlimited SMS on O2 or 3000 SMS on Three.
I'd avoid their contracts though, purely for the 24 month length.
I kept changing my mind about what to go for. Nearly went unlocked, but as I hadn't been able to get a micro SIM from O2 I decided not to. Also, the total cost of ownership of O2 PM vs. O2 Simplicity is fairly similar, while any saving I would have had in monthly payments would probably be swallowed up by random crap & not actually be noticed.
So in the end I just upgraded... £35pcm for 18 months, as before, with £179 for the 16GB. Also means I have more than enough money left in my £500 "iPhone fund" to get a 360 Slim.
If iPhone5 is enough of a jump for me to want one next year, I'll just get one unlocked or PAYG, swap SIMs, & see out the remaining six months of my contract before switching to PAYG/Simplicity/A.N.Other.
If I wasn't impatient
, or if Tesco had released prices earlier & let people pre-order, I would most likely have jumped to them. Orange & Vodafone's contracts are not any better than O2's, for me, but Tesco's 12 months tariffs look liek the best deal available.

I thought it was very good of them. I don't know if the network shops did anything similar. There was a very large queue outside the O2 shop, & none outside Vodafone.

I tried "Air Video" last night. It's awesome! Why the hell didn't I use this before?!
It's a video streaming server for PC/Mac and video streaming client for iOS devices.

Anything natively supported by iOS (e.g. .mp4) will stream as is. If you have divx/xvid within .avi, or a variety of other codecs and containers, it will transcode them on the fly while streaming.
Works great, streaming stuff from my PC to my iPhone using WiFi at home.
It can apparently also stream over the internet, so you could stream vids from home while at work, but I haven't tried that yet.
