I'm not against the vodofone cards, for the right application they are a very useful bit of kit.
But I suspect most zaurus users would have one to score points and for 'my pda's better than your pda' discussions (which it is - obviously lol) However might it not be a better idea to have a much cheaper tariff on a bluetooth mobile and connect to that through a bluetooth card on your zaurus ? A client of mine used to use a vodafone card as his main internet connection so I've got some idea what the things cost to run. And it's not cheap. |

I needed to find something online when visiting a father in law yesterday, and ran up GBP3.50 on virgin GPRS in about 10 mins, even when images were disabled in netfront... probably read about 15 web pages in text-only mode if that!
Ouch! If only the selfish neighbour hadn't gone and locked-down their wireless access point :-( |

here if i find a wlan network it is probably locked...
 and gprs is cheap as hell, 100 or 200 MB a month (depends on the contract), and this is around 8 GBP or 14 US$ or so in your currency. also as i'm with vodafone and they provide a good data compression, that's actually twice of the mbyte's. never ran out of it...
