    I'm afraid I don't know much about the handset usage in the UK - is it possible that people are still using twitter via applications on their handsets? Since I got my iphone, I don't use the SMS features of twitter at all.

    Great news for the UK! Bell in Canada has agreed to allow Twitter updates again... but at 15 cents per message - even if you have an unlimited SMS bundle.

    Our fingers are crossed that one of the other 2 national carriers will come out with a free bundle...
