I've had my phone for over a month now and love it but can't help but feel i'm missing out on the best two features.
1) GPRS- I pay around �60 a month to Orange and for that I get a measley 2Mb, by the time you download your emails and surf the web for 15 mins it's practically gone!! The kick in the guts is that every extra Mb is �3, how can they justify this, especially with the recently launched 3G network here in the UK!!!!
I would be happy to pay �15 maybe �20 a month for a large bundle- orange's idea or a bundle in this price range is 7Mb- pathetic
(for �4 a month you can get practically unlimited GPRS Wap access but you have to use internal browser- which sucks- and can't check email,use IM or irc or anything useful!!!
2) I would really like to expand my phone's memory but to me the cost is prohibitive, especially when is compare the price of MemoryStickDuo to MMC, SD and flash cards!!!!
I would really love someone to tell me why there two things are so expensive and if you expect them to come down in price significantly in the coming months!!!
*rant over*

I pay less than �3 per month, this fee includes unlimited GPRS access (web, email, ICQ, Opera etc. works fine). No megabyte limitations.

UK Vodafone are w-a-y cheaper than that; about �18pm will get you 5MB and it's half price this month. Extra MBs are about �23ea.
Add �32 for GSM free minutes and a zillion free SMS,
and �75 for the P800 itself as an upgrade deal...
oh, and you can upgrade a Vodafone one to R2D :robot:
There are three providers here in Belgium to choose from for GPRS as far as I know:
- IMODE is cheapest which is �6 a month with 20mb included but only works bundled with their phone and no P800 support at the moment.
- Belgacom �7.5 a month 2 mb included / or �20 a month 10mb included
- Mobistar �7.0 a month 2 mb included
(Obviously you have to bundle all of these with a phone suscription)

WOW this is CHEAP!!!
I know in Romania it's �4 a month unlimited GPRS which is already fantastic! 😃
Here in Holland, I pay �15 a month, for 5MB of data. My provider is KPN
