Offering Apple’s iPhone always seems to put a strain on any carrier’s network, as AT&T found out the hard way. Now Vodafone UK might be feeling the pinch too, as the carrier has confirmed, via its forum, that it’s planning to impose some new charges from June 1st onwards. While the carrier will still be offering 500MB of documents with any bundle plan worth £25 or more, but users who go past the 500MB threshold will be charged £5 for every additional 500MB that they use. Folks who are on a plan that doesn’t include any details will be charged 50p for every 10MB of documents by the basic 25MB. While £5 isn’t a lot of money, nobody likes having to shell out additional moolah, particularly since the carrier previously had 500MB as a fair use threshold, but didn’t charge or throttle the connection unless it started to create problems on the network. Are you comfortable with these new charges, or do you think that it’s a poor deal?

Vodafone UK will not be offering unlimited notes for their customers anymore from the first of next month onwards after changing conditions on charges for details usage by cellphones. Currently, all handsets save for the iPhone and Nexus One are able to enjoy a 500MB Fair Use documents package for £5 monthly, but you could surpass that amount without being charged any additional. that benelovence from Vodafone UK will be removed once the calendar touches June 1, 2010, since they will bill you another £5 for the next 500MB of Net use. As a point of comparison, T-Mobile offers 3GB details with all Android smartphones for free as part of the package. Guess customers will definitely be upset with that news!

We’ve seen T-Mobile’s SIM card being crammed into the iPad before that, and now it seems that there are folks by in the UK who can’t wait to get hold of the iPad 3G as well, as John Benson has imported an iPad 3G from the US, and decided to turn his Vodafone SIM into the microSIM essential to compose the iPad’s 3G connection work. that was achieved by your usual cutting tool – the meat cleaver. While it’s fine and dandy for you to take things into your own hands, it’s always good to remember that you’ll want to be careful with your input usage, considering whether you aren’t on an unlimited details plan, you could be facing a rather hefty bill at the end of the month.

While there have been many folks saying that the Xperia X10 Mini would be arriving on Vodafone UK, there wasn’t any official confirmation before that. Now the May issue of the Vodafone Magazine clearly shows that the Xperia X10 Mini is “coming soon”, as pictured above. The downside is that there wasn’t any release term or price mentioned, but speculation pins the phone to be launched in the summer, possibly at a rather appealing price. Stay tuned and we’ll keep you updated.

This is still very much in the rumor bin, but word is going around that the upcoming BlackBerry 9670 clamshell device might be a Verizon exclusive. According to the rumor, Verizon asked RIM to build such a device, according to their specifications, which included a clamshell anatomy factor, 5-megapixel camera and an updated user interface. whether the rumor is true, Verizon would have the exclusive rights to the 9670 in the US, while Vodafone would have a similarly exclusive deal by in Europe. The 9670 is designed as a hip device targeted at the younger generation and has apparently been told to hit a specific price point, which suggests that that phone might not break the bank, news that is very much welcome. Do you think that there is any truth in that?

Vodafone subscribers might be more worried about the lack of Nexus One units to go around, but whether you’re looking for something special in the bargain bin, it’s certainly worth taking note that the Vodafone 247 has been unveiled as well, hot on the heels of the Vodafone 845. Since the 247 is positioned at the carrier’s ultra low cost handset (ULHC) range, it doesn’t offer any groundbreaking functions, but it does offer a solar panel at the back, which is something you rarely see in any phone, regardless of whether it’s a high end or low end device. Thanks to its solar panel, that might actually be an ideal phone to take with you on those extended camping trips. There isn’t any price of availability moment, but hopefully it won’t be too faraway before it’s offered at retailers.

While there isn’t any official price on the device just yet, previous speculation hinted of a possible £130 ($198) price point. It’s slated to be released in May, so you have a month or so to save up your pocket money. Specifications of the Vodafone 845 include:
