Deep in O2’s terms and conditions for the iPhone…

Unlimited Data / WiFi Fair Use Policy:
Your O2 tariff for iPhone allows you unlimited use of O2 UK’s Edge / GPRS networks and The Cloud’s UK Wireless LAN network, for personal internet use, email and Visual Voicemail (VVM) on your iPhone only. All usage must be for your private, personal and non-commercial purposes.
You may not use your SIM Card in any other device, or use your SIM Card or iPhone to allow the continuous streaming of any audio / video content, enable P2P or file sharing or use them in such a way that adversely impacts the service to other O2 customers. If O2 reasonably suspect you are not acting in accordance with this policy O2 reserves the right to impose further charges or disconnect your tariff at any time, having attempted to contact you first.

So. I’m forbidden from using an iPhone, since I would be using it for commercial purposes (ie fielding the odd email about Media UK, the website I run).

And if you’re planning on running iRadio, a neat little app which copes with streaming MPEG streams for your iPhone, then - don’t. Not on O2’s tarrif, anyway.

(I’ve not got one. My iPod Touch is beautiful, particularly now it’s jailbroken and contains loads of apps; my Nokia N70 is acceptable, if not great.)
