Well I decided to go with T-Mobile.
The only reason I was with three was for their minutes and now that T-Mobile gives me 1200+ mins for 35 pounds, screw useless 3G.
Sadly they didn't have any in stock today (promised tomorrow it'd be sent out).
Luckily it comes with SatNav as well so that'll be VERY usefull for me.
@Masseur,
What do you use yours for?
And what apps do you recommend.
I've got spb pocket, and arabizer already.
edit:
Turned this into a question and answer thread.

this IS becoming a popular device, and deservedly so.
well, with SPB plus (I assume thats what you mean) you get a great utility for which I mostly use the ability to have multiple pocket internet explorer windows so thats a good start.
be sure to get the latest free avantgo version (free membership required) for great offline reading
for even greater flexibility in single handed use in keyboard closed mode I definitly recommend the free smartskey utility
the built in file explorer is good but Resco file explorer is much better and includes a registry editor and other useful applications
SuperSnap is a great, and not expensive, screen capture utility that I use ALOT, especially for giving examples on here and also for my k-jam vs jasjar review
definitly the free TCPMP media player is a MUST. I use this for watching videos and I use Pocket DVD studio to rip from DVD and encode for windows mobile
I also use Tube2 with various cities loaded but there is an equally useful, though less graphical, freeware program called metro available
Finally (for now), if you use Microsoft Autoroute on your PC then go back to the install disk and install pocket streets from it which is a great little program for windows mobile. You can make your own maps by selecting areas from autoroute and/or load up the pre-made maps available on the disk such as London East and London West and many others

thanks very much Masseur, indeed very important and usefull stuff to know.
I used to have PDA's you see and always wanted to use them to keep organized. However I was too tired of losing everything when the battery went dead, the size, and didn't want to carry so much.
I then bought into the P-Series and wanted to wait for the P990 but with their continuous delays, I've given up and decided to take T-Mobiles great offer.
You mentioned auto-route, but I don't think I'll need it if I have co pilot, however the TUBE2 is indeed VERY usefull! Thank you very much for the info.

one advantage of the windows mobile 5 standard is that all memory content must be retained when the battery goes flat, and a few people here have commented how happy they are about that!
previously (windows mobile 2003 SE and before) you had to rely on a backup battery to maintain the memory contents but that tended to have a very short life

@Amnesia
Go for it, you will not regret it. I am a diehard  fan as well, however I've waited too long. I needed something with WIFI and great capabilities.
The K Jam is awesome. is in danger of losing their high end phone loyalist due late launches and demand for more perks on phones.
I'm really liking HTC and I never thought I would like anything else besides Hmmmmmm.......... Food for thought Hope someone in is reading.
