Samsung Z320i, S500i, something else, or keep my D500?
Boring phone question sorry!
I'm due for renewal on O2 Online 50 and wondering what to do. Currently have a D500 which I've been pleased with (although it's starting to look a bit tatty and has a couple of screen scratches) and use about 100 mins and 150 texts a month plus a bit of wap for cinema times etc and emailing photos. I used to have O2 Online PAYG and rarely used more than £10/month, contract costs me £20-25/month so changing back to PAYG and keeping the D500 for another year or so might be the way forward. Hoping that when I tell O2 I want to do that they'll offer me a better deal + upgrade
Other option is to get an upgrade, sell it new, and keep the D500; but then sod's law states that the D500 will break within days 
If so, what should I go for? Would like something compact, with very good battery life and no annoying quirks (like the D500 can't ring and vibrate at once). I prefer slide or flip so I don't have to remember to lock the keypad. Reasonable camera and MP3 would be a bonus. Seems a bit dull to go for a D500 clone but the Z320i looks ok, is this I-Mode thing of any use? Browsing ebay on the train would be fun I guess. S500i also looks ok. Any other suggestions? No Nokias please!
Cheers

How about the Sony K750i, I had the 700i and they are not bad phones.
Very easy to use once your use to them.
Failing that you could try the D600, personally paid a few quid on my upgrade wuth O2 and waiting for a Nokia N70
