So I received a nice text from O2 last night, telling me that they would soon send me some information on how to pre-register to get my new 3g iphone. They also provided some links to the O2 iphone pages on thee website. I had a quick click through and stopped at the tarriff page. Luriking in the small light grey print at the bottom of the page was this:
"Handset subject to availability. Connection subject to status, 18 month minimum term contract, credit check & direct debit. Calls/texts made in UK to standard UK landlines/mobiles only. Data usage whilst roaming not included. Unlimited Wi-Fi is available at any of the 9,500 Wi-Fi hotspots from our partners The Cloud and BT Openzone (available from 11 July 2008). Excessive usage policy and full terms apply."
So it looks like O2 will in addition to having the free wi-fi with The Cloud will also have wi-fi available from the 11th July with BT Openzone - making the total amount of hotspots 9,500 in the UK. From my perspective this is a big deal as I often come across many BT Openone hotspots but not many from the cloud - all of a sudden this new 3g iphone is looking more and more appealing (like it wasnt already!!).
