This summer I'm going to Oxford on a "language travel" to learn better english. I'm going in july (perfect timing with the K700  ) and will be there for three weeks. Before I go I have a couple of questions:
First, what is the best SIM to get there? I need a english one since me and a buddy (that's also going) want to be able to keep in touch without our swedish phonebills getting skyhigh. 
Second, anybody living there (maybe studying)? How is it in Oxford?

Oxford is great in July though you have probably missed most of the students. Make sure you watch any boat races on the river and get some PIMMS into ya!

I would stay away from n'ham if I was you. I went to the uni there for a week near the end of my A levels while at boarding school to sample uni life and it was hoooorible!

Remember to pack plus fours and a dinner suit, you will look an ass in England without them
