Yes at the same rip off price still from 02 I'm afraid i must admit every time i look at a phone on 02 and then get to their Data add on it does crack me up. I mean really £3 for 2mb or £5 for 4mb even with the included 1mb a month allowance that is a joke. On T-Mobile i get up to 1GB a month for £7.50 i wouldn't even get 10mb for that amount of money with 02 what a rip off.

PS. If you travel to Japan and/or South Korea you also need a 3G phone, because there is no good old GSM.

PPS. Japan and S. Korea (and Chine but it has moved to 1700/2100,afaik) ain't using 3G common standardisation
The 3G (UMTS 2100, also known as WCDMA 2100) works also in Japan and South Korea. You can check it from GSM Association website: www.gsmworld.com.
(I have been told that information also by my home operator, who has 3G raoming in Japan and in South Korea.)

i like 3g, fast and wireless connection to the web.
however it's costs are usualy high. Because of the outragious licenses the providers had to pay.
but there are some downsides with it, like most providers here. You're not allowed to view streaming video (youtube), listen to your favorite radio streams, use a voip-service.
3g is realy great i think... or at least i could be |
