Monthly costs 

The real deal-breaker is the monthly costs - £35 to £55 depending on contract, and no pay-as-you-go. I always thought that the high monthly costs of contracts were to offset the cost of the mobile that the operator gave you for free (or heavily subsidised) - but O2 are expecting us to buy the iPhone at full price AND pay these extortionate monthly costs? No thanks - although I'd consider it if I could buy the iPhone without a contract, even if it was still restricted to O2.

Belgium?? 

You mean Northern France?

Boooorrrrrriiiiiiinnnng - Where's Webster?

Which is the best Linux for laptops?

I have been starting to venture into the Linux/Unix world, currently using the Ubuntu 8.04 on my ThinkPad X60. But is there a better distro for mobiles?
