Need to move to Voda from O2 - no decent deals!?

I'm currently on the rolling monthly contract with O2 with my trusty N95.

I've been looking for a new phone on Voda that at least matches the N95 but there is nothing!

I need to move for reception reasons and now I just want a short cheap contract until 'better' phones come out at a decent price.

Wants:
'unlimited' Internet (key) - aware of voda's 'limits'
Radio (desired)
GPS (key)
Good calender (key)
music
300+ mins

I have considered:
N97 - expensive and did not like the screen
HTC Magic - cheap - no GPS software(?), no radio but really liked the phone (gmail user as well)
N71 (looked good but small screen for internet)
iphone (second hand) - expensive gps, no radio
i8910 - (second hand - not on Voda) - looks good but massive!
5800 - ticks the boxes but not very exciting - would only want short contract

Is there a cheap easy way I can get a 12m contract and a decent phone or even a contract-less sim only deal and buy a second hand phone/keep flogging my N95?

    Go for the Nokia N85

    Best phone I have ever owned.

    Don't think I would lock myself into a contract for a phone that is effectively the same as my n95!

    That said I would recommend the N85 to others -just not different enough for me
