Yes there is. But I think you'll be hard pushed to go over it on a iPhone

Ah, with its not-really-3G compromise technology. They should have called it FUDGE, rather than EDGE.
Anyone know why the iPhone doesn't currently support 3G? Is it due to lack of 3G networks in the USA, battery consumption, bulk, or something else?

According to Tim Cook, Apple COO (back in March 07)
Pocketpicks
"Our thinking was first and foremost that we wanted GSM because GSM was the world standard and that was one of the factors in the selection of Cingular. Secondly, the product as we announced it has wireless capabilities. Many people, like in this room, have access to WiFi, including this room, home, where you have coffee. Between this spots we are going to use 2.5G because it’s widely deployed. We’re confident that it will give the user a great experience.â€
Sounds a bit wishy-washy to me - Edge is so much slower than 3G HSDPA.

Apple launches £269 iPhone in the UK -> IT Pro

"All price plans will have unlimited data, on wireless hotspots, GPRS and Edge" said Key, moving quickly to address concerns over high data bills that have emerged during early use in the US. The data service does have a fair usage policy, which Key would not go into specifics on.
|
That's because they are hiding something...it's the most important piece of info I require when entering into a new contract.

Re: iPhone UK Release info
Why's wifi subjected to a FUP?
Surely that's upto the wifi provider not O2?

I assume that relates to the 'unlimited' access to O2's own WiFi network, which is part of the bundle.

Re: iPhone UK Release info
The are using 'the cloud' for wi-fi.
I would expect a 1gb data with perhaps a 1gb wifi fair use policy.

Re: iPhone UK Release info
for a portable device the fair usage thing is more than enough, you're not going to be downloading torrents or binary files....

Says who? 
What I download it up to me / the users - not for somebody to dictate what I can and can't download on a device of my choice!
