basically I have a mobile phone, it's quite old now (7650 camera etc) - but it does everything that I want a phone to do and the picture quality is still pretty damn good.
I'm currently on PAYG... but going to uni, I'm going to be making a lot of phone calls and stuff off my phone. So I now want to go contract?
Whats the best contracts out there? what are people on at the moment?
How much do you pay monthly, and how much free stuff (calls (anytime? )/ txts) do you get? and how much do they cost normally?
I ideally don't want to pay for another phone in my contract, however most places I look make you get a free phone - so I'm considering paying for like a £30 contract and selling the phone on ebay?
Best so far I've seen is probably orange double talk (or something), which was for like £30 a month, a free phone, 400 minutes anytime + 400 texts... free?
What do people recommend as it gets so confusing!!! almost every tarrif has good and bad points...

yes I did a sex whee when I saw a 7610 earlier 
1.3 mega pixel camera expandable memory to 512 mb - I think I may be purchasing one of these
To be honest, I don't think I can be arsed with a contract now. I didn't even realise I could do bolt on (buy in bulk i.e. 400 messages for £11.99) with Orange PAYG
I've been with orange PAYG for years and years - never realised I could.
So I'm just gonna do 400 texts a month for £11.99 (about 3p a txt) and just make phone calls rarely and get my mum to sub me some money for credit. (tell her I can't call home unless she gives me some credit lol)
But I definately think I might look on ebay or something and buy a 7610 to put my sim in! Whats the cheapest you can get these sim free jambo? (do you ever do 5 finger discounts in your store? - I can sort you legoland tickets )
Also know anyone who wants to buy a really shoddy looking (dropped it so many times) 7650?

just looking at the dimensions of that 7610 - its not that much thinner than the 7650. I'll probably find that in a few months people are commenting about my 'brick' lol
might just stick with the good 'ol' 7650 for now ... Just wish I could upgrade the memory 
Just wish I could get a better cover for mine... the standard greenish shit like above is a bit crap... I know you can buy new covers, but I think you need to be a nasa scientist to fit it and need a kit?
Jambo if you know how to fit a new cover and have any to hand, give me a shout? I could do with my phone having a make over before I go to uni.
