Being spoiled with 3G the last several years means I almost get angry when I see the icon on my phone retreat back to the comfy yet dark confines of 2G. As you all know, 2G sucks in this day and age. It simply cannot keep up with pretty much anything on the real or mobile web anymore. But in a pinch, rolling back to the golden oldie when 3G is unavailable is a god send as long as the page you’re trying to visit isn’t heavy in anything besides text. For UK...

Cheaper rate plans with added value across the board are more than welcome.

For those of you keeping track, this particular gem has been called the “Espresso” from time to time within the inner Android circles.
