I waited and waited for the pages to load then gave up after 5 minutes. I guess I will have to wait for iPhone 2 to have 3G before I take the plunge. And even then only if I can use all the programmes I currently need on my WM device. And don't mention the cost, £269 + £35 per month for 18 months? and that's only 200 mins / 200 texts and the crappy slow o2 data.
My t-mobile Flex / web'n'walk gives me more than that and 3G/HDSPA for £22.50 and a free phone.
I think what's good about the iPhone is that it should give an incentive to Microsoft to improve windows mobile. Hopefully.
