Upgrading from my 6600

My Orange contract comes to an end soon and with all these 12 month cashback deals about I'm interested in getting a new phone.

However I really like my 6600, as I have sProfiles running which changes my profile dependant on a schedule I've set up or on calendar entries etc. I also use Profimail to retrieve my emails from my pipex account. What I don't want to give up is this functionality that comes with the phone.

Other than another Symbian OS phone, are there any other phones that provide these types of functionality..

    The 6600 is easy to unlock and the one I have seems to last forever with a great battery life and good features.

    Why not just choose the best cashback deal you can get and use the sim and ebay the handset (not three network through of course)
    I think....

    I must admit the thought had crossed my mind...

    Great battery life? Mine was terrible! Much as i loved some of the features on my 6600, there are plenty things about I won't miss at all - the battery, incredibly slow reaction from the keyboard, taking AGES to start up and the bulk of the thing! I recently abandonded mine for something far less feature-packed and don't miss it at all!
