My experience with plastic screen protectors is that they are very hard to attach on an iPad, the screen too large. Works fine for an iPhone but an iPad is too big to not have 'bubbles' in the protection layer.

    I have bought the third generation iPad last Sunday while I was in the US. The screen is absolutely stunning, while it sometimes takes pretty long to render the graphics it is amazingly sharp. I now even more love reading books or browsing the web.

    Anyone here with an opinion on the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc? I have an oppurtunity to buy one for a low price.
  2. Can I ask you people what kind of surf plans you have for your smartphones? I'm thinking about if 0,5GB is fine... or if I want 1GB per month? I wouldn't use it for a lot of video or audio... But some normal surfing every once in a while.... To check U2start and such... What do you think?
  3. If you mostly check mobile sites, even 100 MB can sufice you. If you do intensive browsing, including streaming stuff like online radio or Youtube videos, you'll need 300 or 500 MB. But that intensive browsing will kill your battery so it's stupid anyway. And you shall use wifi when at home, so exclude from your surf plan's prevision all the time you spend at home.
  4. I'd use wifi at home... And I'll hopefully be able to access the wifi in school too (I'm able to with my iPod, but some friends have some issues). I'd probably mostly use it on the bus.

    The difference in price isn't that big... 499 SEK (56 euro) per year for 0,5GB per month... 699 SEK (78 euro) for 1GB per month.
  5. Go for the 500 MB, but I'd say that you would not use that. If there was a 250 MB option, then that would probably best.

    Even then, if it was me, I'd go for the 1GB because I'm a greedy bastard.
  6. I use close to 1GB per month and that's my monthly limit too. Wifi at home and work.

  7. What do you use it for?
  8. 499 SEK (56 euro) per year for 0,5GB per month...


    That's incredibly cheaper than here in Spain.

  9. That's only the surfing though. Nothing else... I have another one that gives me 5000 text messages per month that also costs 499 SEK. And then I load it wuth credit to call for... I don't call that much though... so in total my cell phone usage doesn't cost much at all.

  10. Just general iPhone use, surfing, mail, Whatsapp, YouTube, and some Spotify and Television (I have a Slingbox at home) streaming as well which well adds up.
  11. 400MB is my contract, it goes fine. But this month i watched a lot of high res images, so was halve way after a week But with ordinary surfing I will have no problem getting through the month.

    Streaming, and photos are the butchers of traffic.
  12. I don't have any data, I'm on PAYG. I rarely use mobile network to access the internet when I'm out but if I do, I have enough credit to cover me. Besides, if I go crazy it's capped at £5 (I think) and after that it's free.
