Everything is streaming these days anyway, fine for things like youtube (or youporn in your case I guess).

Well maybe o2 should quote you on their website rather than saying there is no coverage, anyway it’s an apple product so it's aimed at hippies and the gullible not captains of industry.

Have you got that 911 yet? Don't forget to put slicks on the back for the coming winter.

Just used one in the o2 store by the way. Flawless, could type on the virtual keyboard just as I would on a real one, even with my big fingers. Actually better than T9 text recognition.
