I've been paying £40 per month for the past two years (I know, I'm an idiot) so I'd like it to be around £30.

Presuming you'd want a smartphone, I'd go for and iPhone 4 (because they'll be slightly cheaper than the 4s) or some kind of Samsung/HTC. I wouldn't go for blackberry!
Personally I have the iPhone 4 and have no problems but some people don't like going with apple.

In my opinion don't go with an iPhone. Go with an Android phone (you can get a Samsung Galaxy S2 for that ppm) and you'll be far better off with the amount of customisation that you have out of the box.

On the other hand, getting an iPhone 4 will mean having a phone 2 generations behind for 18 months.

Marketing makes a point here ^ If you have to get an iPhone, it's best to get the latest one - not a generation behind.

What do you expect from a phone? What phone did you have before, as that could give us some idea :)

Yeah I'm not crazy about Apple and I think I'd rather go with a HTC for some reason.

I've had a look and it's like £32 PM plus a handset cost for the Samsung Galaxy S2 at current.

I'm behind with my current phone, which is stated below in my quote to GommeInc, and I hate it! I've thought about this and it's highly likely that if I were going with an iPhone it would be the 4S.

I really liked having a good camera phone but I barely snapped anything and the novelty wore off. I have the Sony Ericsson Satio currently.

I haven't heard anything about that and even when it does come out it'll be like £40 for 24 months minimum for the first few months will it not?
