Blackberry Storm, Iphone or G1 - ideally with cashback

crube

This is actually for my wife. She wants a pay monthly contract with any of these up to 2 years, with the phone being free. The Blackberry Storm is her first choice, with the Iphone being second and third choice the G1. We are with Quidco and Top Cashback, so ideally we'd like to get a nice bonus for taking out a 24 month contract. Any help and advice much appreciated

I see - where did you get it? How much do you pay per month?

If you just want to find the best deal, it may be worth waiting another couple of months, if you can, until the next iphone is launched (poss June or July). There may be some better deals around for competitors.
O2 have lowered there contracts with existing iphone already.
If your wife has an existing contract, speak to the company, ask for a better deal with an upgraded handset.
Try going to a couple of local phone shops, I was in one recently and they offered me a great deal, when I 'ummed and aared' a bit, they offer cash back, cash for my existing mobile, extra minutes and unlimited data usage. If your wife happy with a 24 month contract, the sales staff will be falling over themselves.

Avoid the storm - the depression of the screen for data entry is a nightmare imo.
The iphone looks better but if you've got fat fingers could still be a problem using touch screen. I personally use a Blackberry 8320 - I use the wifi mode all the time. The video and music aren't as nice as the storm/iphone, but for doing phone calls/texts/emails and even web browsing it's very good. Depends what your priorities are.

O2 have contracts now from £35 a month where the 8gb Iphone is free but the minimum contract period is 24 months. All the details are on the O2 website.

I got an Iphone recently and love it. It is great for web browsing. I used to have a blackberry pearl and the browsing is infinitely better on the Iphone. I haven't tried the Blackberry Storm so can't comment on how it compares to that.

Good luck

My friend went for an HTC touch diamond as he wanted an Iphone, did the research and it appeared that one came out better.

Available on a range of networks too, so maybe worth a trip to carphone warehouse to see if you like it more than the IPhone
