Cool Mobi Phone - What To Go For?

Wife is out of contract and wants to change to a new network, so phone is not the problem.

As its in my name, what phone should I get? She'll keep her existing and I'll get the "free" one with which to drop my non-work contract sim in.

It'll be O2 & on their £35 pcm contract so most phones available.

Not bothered about an iPhone (& I'm not paying extra so "Free on new contract" is the way forward) so what should I go for?

Or should I just get something & throw it up on eBay, in which case what?

Was thinking camera phone like the K850i or LG Viewty. Is there anything else I could get?

I'm not bothered to be honest, I get work provided Blackberry which I can u/grade as new models come out & that covers calls as well, but want to keep my "private" phone so its on a minimum contract in a reasonably good phone already

But I have the opportunity...

Have you heard of search

A thread a week on Mobile Phones

Only joking, im really happy with my new Nokia N73 free on contract renewal plus 100 quid cashback

The Sony K850i I believe is virtually the same as the N73 in size/looks/features/functionality

Just been playing with aN LG viewty

nice phone, nice size, (iphone without the hype)

trouble is nowhere seems to have it

cheapest high street deal is £24 through 3

O2 will do some good loyalty deals if you push them.....

A guy at work got offered free weekends 300 mins 100 texts and £100 cashback oh and a free viewty on an 18 month contract for £25 notes


or £30 contract over 12 months with 300 mins and 100 texts but the phone was £50 notes

i want one too

The Nokia and the Sony Ericsson mentioned above are both good phones.

Don't just take O2's standard rates.

Check out the O2 retention thread over at MoneySaving Expert.
Go to the last few pages to see what people have been offered.
