The flat I've been waiting for - mobile internet here I come

Quick news flash. Tommi from S60 mentions that 3 will be offering flat fee packages in the UK, including Skype, Instant Messaging, eBay etc.

This is definitely moving in the right direction for me. I would love to be able to actually use all these neat features my phone has, but with the data prices right now, I'm already worried about keeping up my mobile GPS blogging. Making free VoIP calls with me mobiles, Web 2.0 (bingo...) services on mobiles without these ridiculous costs, maybe even some UMTS TV streaming - sign me up.

Now I wish we only had an operator like that in Germany. Let's see how quickly things change! The last rumors I heard were the first speech flat rates for end of 2007, but that did not include data rates.
