My 18 month contract expires in the next few months and Im not quite sure what to do.

I currently have a Samsung i8510. Im paying £35 per month which allows 600 minutes and unlimited text messages on o2.

Im perfectly happy with the phone, it does pretty much everything I need. Should I bother getting a new handset, or try and wrangle the price down? If anything Id like a few more minutes included, maybe reduce the messages as I rarely use more than 100 per month.

If I do go for a new handset, any suggestions? I want to be able to watch films, play music, web-browse, and maybe take a few pics.

I was looking at the HTC HD2, but it seems to have a few problems and is still very expensive. Also I got the phone from CarephoneWarehouse, but havent had any contact with them other than the initial purchase, my bill comes from o2 - who will try to ring me?

I just got a HTC Tuch HD2 on vodafone as my personal mobile for the same money, with 900 minutes, 3000 SMS, and unlimited internet.

I assume youd recommend it?

Oh yea, lol.

Not quite used to the touchscreen yet, but thats because I spend most of my time on a blackberry.

Ive always wondered what unlimited internet means. Is that the same as the dongle deals I see around? Meaning no need for a wifi hotspot?

Just got my missus the N97 mini, and I love it. I want one for myself really. Thats on Vodafone, 600mins, unlimited text and internet. £25/month, with 11 months half price.

I think fair use applies, but at the same time I wonder just how much you could feasably download through 3G etc.

My mum wanted me to help set up the bluetooth on her phone yesterday and I was pressing her screen wondering why nothing was happening till I remembered it wasnt a touchscreen

The o2 simplicity sim currently on offer

30 day contract = 600 minutes, 1400 texts and unlimited internet (which according to their terms is 200mb a month)

Not bad for £20 and no long contract, just buy a phone on the bay.

Im currently bidding on Samsung Jets and then ill bundle that sim with it.

im in the same boat, but im going for an iphone.. i gotta decide do I get one now or wait for 4g

Judging by the solid pricing of 2G and 3G on Ebay now that 3GS is out i dont think you would have trouble selling either 3G/S when the 4G comes out.

Personally though i would wait until at least January 27th

Im on Dolphin 35 with Orange + Unlimited (500mb) data.

I can get through the whole 500mb in a month.  I have exceeded it a couple of times with no issues.

O2 will normally give you something like £100 if you dont take a handset.  Thats what happens with the wife.

£100 would be nice, help towards the new flat too.

My current phone is going for over a ton on Ebay, and eighty odd on the recycle sites, might as well get a new phone and sell this one?

vodafone, the swines,have an FUP of 500MB

My mobile data easily exceeds 10GB a month. Looks like Im keeping the work dongle!

Blackberry 9700?  Or if 3G doesnt matter to you an 8910 (Not out yet, but basically an 8900 with a trackpad instead of a ball).  If youre on Orange they even bundle Telmap Navigator for free if you pay over £35 per month.  The flip side to the Blackberry Ive found is that I rarely text anyone but the wife now.  I e-mail or MSN pretty much everyone, and Ive gone from using about 700 SMS per month, to under 100!
