Need help picking a phone and tariff

Hi guys
I figure I'd come on here and ask since I got very confused last night when searching for a phone/tariff.
I'm currently using an old Nokia 8310e and I'm on a O2 simplicity sim at £15/month. I use about 200 mins and 300 texts a month.
I would like to be able to get on the internet with my new phone and be able to check my e-mails - ideally I'd like to be able to check for mystery shopping jobs and book them through my phone. (I don't have internet access at work due to my type of job and often work 12 hrs a day)
Obviously the iPhone comes to mind - but its far too expensive for me, and I'm not sure what other phones meet my requirements.
I'm happy to change providers - quite fancy orange as I don't think O2 will give me squat from what I've read on the boards.
Sorry for the long post - any help is gratefully appreciated. :T

three have some decent deals, their cs is a nightmare, network coverage is ok but check before buying.
For £20pm you get 200 mins, unlimited texts and unlimited internet.
Not a bad range of phones either.

Whatever phone / network you go with, when you get the phone download the opera mini browser from mini.opera.com
Itll make phone browsing alot more enjoyable.0 -

I'd go with the Nokia 6700 with that deal- which O2 don't stock at the moment:).Snakeeyes21 wrote: »three have some decent deals, their cs is a nightmare, network coverage is ok but check before buying.
