Well this is a cool little thing if ever I've seen one.

Found this site (https://www.mobilepanel.co.uk/welcome.aspx). It'a a company who deal with market research. They've created a little app that sits on your phone and monitors your usage. On a daily basis it uploads the info for them to analyse.

The cool part is they pay you to use it. For signing up they give you £15 (payable within 45 days) and for every month after that they give you £5 (payable bi-annually).

For those concerned about privacy, their policy states they do not record exact details of what you are doing, so they don't actually have copies of your texts etc. It's mroe that they monitor the amount of texts you sent, or data you use, or time on your browser.

The amount of data it uses is tiny, so it shouldn't kill anyones bill!

Site's down. Is that a 3g forum stampede crashing their server?

I've got this installed! Had it when I had a widows based phone, so was happy to have it when they released a version for the N95. Unfortunately there are issues with it at the moment. It keeps trying to send texts, which it shouldn't do, to the number that you get the original installation text from. M:Metrics have sent me £5 though as compensation and hope to have the issue resolved within 2-3 weeks!
