After last years fuck up with O2 where they let me upgrade my account 4 times in 5 months 
Seem to be having more good luck 
Aaaaaages ago I got a phone on 3 shorty after it launched. It was a no line rental deal & you had to pay for the phone (I got mine free).
Its been running for over 3 years & I've never paid a penny. Get a bill from them every few months saying I own them nothing, been meaning to cancel it but never got around to it....
But now I can upgrade the account 
If I upgrade for 12 months I have to pay for handsets, but if I go for a 18 month contract then there all free  (Well, excluding the SE W950i which is £80)
So
12 x £0 = 0
18 x £0 = 0
Don't know what to choose. Choice of K800, K610, Z610, W850, 6233, 6280, N80, N73, N93, E61, V3x, V3xx, LG U830
Got the W850 at the moment, might sell this & then keep the new phone. Or I could just stick with the 850 & sell the new one
Fancy the N73 I think, what decent apps can you get for them? (Other than sat nav)

The closest they do to a PDA is the Nokia E61
I've had a K800 before & it was really great But the new one has just been announced

The stores have an upgrade calculator, try calling in at your local store
Or ring up customer services. Tell them you're on a 3 to go tariff & you want to upgrade
Its worked for me so should do for you

They don't do that plan anymore, but if you're on it you can keep it when you upgrade

Matt theres sooooo many apps you can get for the N73. And again if you turn loggin down to 1 day its fast again (typical Symbian phone)
Current app im having fun with is Bluetooth webcam (upto 100m) guys at work watch my screen while i walk round with the camera on , i feel like a spy
this site will give you an idea on whats about.
