Looking for a decent camera phone!

Hi at the mo I have a nokia, had it years, on a 02 Genie sim, I was thinking of getting a phone on contract so that I'm not paying upfront for the phone, can anyone recomend a decent camera phone on contract for about a £10 a month, never had a contract before.
Thanks in advance

    you won't get much for £10 a month
    even with a cashback deal (read up elsewhere on this forum on the pros and cons)

    best I can suggest is a Samsung Renoir from Phones4U @ £25 per month but cashback reduces that to £15. It is an 8mp camera though and it is only a 12 month deal on Vodaphone with 50 mions and 150 texts

    like I said look on the forum there are lots of threads eg

    Basically it relies on the money the companies get from the networks for signing yoiu up to sweeten the deal. However it isn't guaranteed and while some of us saved literally thousands of pounds over the years others have failed to get anything back. Many of these companies rely on you not following the rules to the letter and they will wriggle out if they can. IMHO its best viewed as a bonus and is not for the disorganised

    Oh and don't forget to go via Quidco and save an extra £30

    So over the 12 months it could come down to less than £13 a month for a pretty smart phone - go into town and try one at a store but buy online !
