Mobile Contract with Internet and Email Access

I had been with 3 for nearly 3 years, the last time I phoned up and 'threaten' to leave. They offered me a free Nokia E71, 600 mins, 150 texts and unlimited internet for £10 a month for 18 months. While the text limit seems a little low, with unlimited internet means I can email as most people have push email these day.
E71 is equipped with HSPDA (something related to turbo 3G service, very fast data transfer) and having a Bluetooth enabled netbook, can use the phone as a bluetooth modem for the the internet. No more hefty WiFi charges at places where free WiFi is not available and get up to speed of 125kbs at times! Not bad for email and general browsing.
The deal with mobile phone renewal is, keep your mind open about the kind of phone they offer (of course something you consider decent enough to use) but argue for the best tariff they can provide. They seem to try anything to make you stay in my opinion.
I am on with 3 PAYG, if I phoned them telling them I am leaving would they offer me a good e71 deal0
