yes, me!

I was going to get a data card until I found out that I can get tmobile web n walk max added to my phone for £10 per month which is what I did. I use a nokia E61i with a cable in to my little 12" Dell XPS works great BUT there are sum limitations you cant FTP and MSN messenger doesnt work (although MSN WEB messenger does work

I only use it every few days but it works great and 3G coverage is pretty good , will probably get one of the THREE usb modems when they fully launch after chrimbo as they are only £15 a month,

I have an e65 on the silver X-series plan with 3. I use this (via bluetooth) with my Macbook to get web access. No charges yet

Might still get a USB modem, but as long as this remains as it is, I'll stick with it

Vodafone 3G datacard on O2 3G which seems to work well enough - £45 month unlimited data which is fine as its a company card. VPN or remote desktop control work ok (but racks up the data transfer summat rotten with the apps we use). Switches to GPRS if 3G not available - like on trains sometimes!

Just don't go roaming unless your company is picking up the tab - ffffffffffffreaking expensive
