I've always liked them and will come in quiet handy if it can do what I they generally can. Anyway, i would like a decent one but it dont have to be bang up to date

Does anyone know the best place for contracts that I could get and roughly how much they are, ideally no more than £30 and preferably less.

If £30 is your budget for a BLACKBERRY phone, goodluck finding one, the only way you'll get one for that is if the screen is cracked and all the buttons are gone. No offence, but the cheapest one is something like £60-70.

If you mean contract, as in pay monthly, well, at least £20-30 a month you may be paying 40 if you get the phone for free..

Oh... rite, my dads friend just got the bold and its £40pm but I guess it must be on a 24m+ contract. Thanks anyway, ill have to shop around xD

Anything like that I wouldnt mind, and also paying up to around £100 to get a decent phone on contract.

Shop around, you can easily get one on a 30p/m contract, but it depends what you want and how long you wana be tied up for.

I found that for the bold, I wouldnt mind paying that + the £80 ontop for the phone.

For the one above, on a 18m contract 200m + unlimited texts is £30, on orange you get 400m + unlimited texts for £25. The £5 saving a month is £90 which would save me £10 if I took the orange contract over 18 months.

aye but i don't see much point having a blackberry if you don't have unlimited web and email, which are included in the vodafone plan i believe.

Oh, if thats not included then the £10 is better I guess lol. Anyone know if you get it on orange?

Iv'e been searching around for a while now and have found most of the decent deals on orange come with 2 months unlimited evening and weekend internet, which isn't great. I think you can pay extra for it but then you're talking 35+.
I know o2 were doing the blackberry curve 8900 with unlimited texts and internet and like 200 minutes for 25 a month in my o2 shop. But the downside being the curve doesn't have 3g.
I contemplated getting the storm on the deal i posted above, but have decided i cba with a blackberry and gonna get the nokia 5800 for 25 a month with unlimited texts + internet and 200 mins on t-mobile.

Mmm, is there any other good phones on £25 with what you said, texts, calls, internet etc.

Err the only other one i can really remember is the samsung tocco ultra eddition, don't really know how good the phone is but you can get it on that plan. Spend a few days trawling through phone and review sites to find what suits you.

Blackberry Storm & Bold are Free on £30 contracts on vodafone, so where did you get £40?

I've got a BlackBerry myself, I'm not that impressed by it. I won't be getting another one when the contract runs out.

i get that exact contract on o2 for £20 (:

if you phone them up and haggle with them im sure theyll give it to you for 20 quid.

Vodafone is great for unlinited web browsing. The phone itself is great except that is doesn't seem to have anything but prescriptive text which is a right pain!
