    Does X Series allow a greater level of access to web sites and the internet as Internet Max? If so it seems to be a no-brainer which to go for if they both cost the same.

    I don't want to buy a phone from 3. I want one of their free ones as I have my own HTC Hermes, but as I understand it, I can't order X Series unless I have compatible phone which costs.

    Is it possible for me to Order a M&M package say the 300 at £15 / month and then once I have the phone and SIM, put the SIM in my HTC and then order X Series? I know this sounds awkward, but as far as I can see, this is the only way to get X series with out buying one of their phones. I guess I will loose some X Series features, but I can live with that. I really only want internet access on the HTC, but if there are a few usable extras, may as well go for X Series.

    Sorry to waffle, but I want to get this right before committing to an 18 month contract.

    Cheers

    Do you know which ports are blocked?

    Internet Max basically blocks everything except a few well known ones (possibly even only 80). Not sure if anything's blocked on X-Series Silver (nothing appears to be on Mobile Broadband).
