Ok, im debating wether or not to get this new monthy contract

For £30 a month u get 50mb of internet usage though 3G, or GPRS as well as other things.

What are my options on connecting it up to my ipaq, i no it can be done, but what sorts of speeds will i be expecting?, could i run msn messanger..

Any thoughts, or possibly and comments off anybody that has being using this service?

Yes. You can run messenger. You could get up to dialup speeds (56K) with GPRS

Do u use GPRS or 3G personally, if so do u have any tips of what software to use and maybe what IE u use on your ppc. Its just to give me a brief idea of what to expect, i no u can get full internet but could walk around with msn messanger on in my pocket perminantly?

I use 1xRTT (2.5G) and you can get onto MSN but even @ 50Mb....you can run out of data if you kept it always on. Also your battery wouldn't last all that long.
I use ftxpbrowser and PIE. MultiIE and Netfront are better but not free :D
I'd sety up and then use the internet/ log on as need be...
