Hi I am upgrading my phone contract at the end of this month and I am going to take the plunge and get a smart phone. Is 500mb a month enough? I won't be streaming much I shouldn't think but will use it for facebook and a bit of browsing.

To be honest most people I know only look a you tube and websites like that through wifi. All my friends ask me for my wireless password...0

I am normally on wifi at home and at work. It took just about 3M to drive about 90 miles to Manchester and back using google satnav. I think that onward map was pre-cashed in full or partly via wifi.0

I never get anywhere near 500mb on o2 because the 3g network is so poor and so its only really worth using data over wifi.0
