A great thing about my mobile company: I just phoned them to set up my credit card, and to top up my account balance, and they just told me that I will get a free 3Mb GPRS bundle (worth £12). This, combined with the fact that my phone works perfectly at my desk now (with four bars of service) - as long as it's plugged in to my laptop (I think it's probably using the USB cable as some kind of external aerial - anybody who knows anything about this, please email me). 
So, I've got three megabytes this month for free. Then I can buy megabytes for £1 each or pay £1 and use it all day long. This is probably the cheapest GPRS access on offer from any of the UK phone companies, and is pretty competitive internationally.
The great thing also is that when I top up £15, I get 600 minutes of off-peak for that month included as a result of topping up (and I use off-peak most since I call mostly to organise social events).
It's extremely competitive especially if you compare it with paying for WiFi at Starbucks and other venues where it's usually £4 an hour. Why would I want £4 an hour when I can get £1 a day? And I have the advantage of not even needing to be in Starbucks (a place I generally don't like - it's overpriced and rather identikit). With GPRS, I can use the 'net while on the train or in the library (phone to 'silent', of course). I can use it in many circumstances where I couldn't before.
Orange users, you may want to try and phone customer services today if you're a GPRS user, since you may be able to get some kind of special deal by topping up. Web developers, make your applications fit on my mobile screen. Gmail do so. You should too!
Orange, keep doing this sort of thing - I like it! And you'll keep hitting Technorati if you do.
