3 is celebrating their first year of mobile broadband by launching a new data tariff of £2.50 for unlimited email use, though the price doubles to a fiver a month for suit-wearers using Exchange or Notes access.
Both tariffs include a data bundle, 10MB and 1GB respectively, but the e-mail access is completely unlimited and includes attachments and so forth. 3 isn't sharing all the details until the formal announcement on the 10th, but we understand that punters paying £2.50 will get unlimited POP3 and IMAP, while those paying £5 will also get uncapped access to their own Exchange or Notes servers.
3 reckon they've got half a million punters signed up to mobile broadband, though most of those won't be able to take advantage of the tariff, which is intended for handset users rather than those with laptops connected to a 3G dongle. Of course, the difference is increasingly blurred.
