Cheers!...Can we enable the data plan and disable it any time we like or is there a lock in period?
and how is the speed...whats the realistic speed can we expect from 3?

For those that do have an idea, which of the 3 dongles is the best to get as they mostly look similar?

Broadband on Mobile Phone

I have a N95 8GB phone on a 3 network.Planning to ditch BT broadband and go mobile internet.I can think of 2 options:

1) Go for the 3 USB dongle thingie(eigher as PAYG or on a contract)
2) Add a 3GB dataplan to the existing mobile contract.

My question is if i went for option2 then will it be as good as option1 in terms of speed, reliability,signal strength etc as I will be using the phone as the modem...

Any ideas from anyone using it?
