Vodafone contract - which phone?

I was originally looking at the LG Viewty Lite; but can't find that one online now.

I am currently looking at Vodafone's £10 a month 24 month contract. Partly because I need a new phone and partly because I spend far too much on PAYG.

I have a choice of the following:
Nokia - 1661, 2630, 6303
Samsung - B3310, C3050
Sony Ericsson - C510
LG - KP500 Cookie, KS360

I've had Nokias before (my current one is a Nokia) and have had no problems with them; same with Samsung and have never had a Sony Ericsson or LG.

How easy are these phones to use? And how reliable are SEs and LG? I think my sister has had a few SEs before; but can't remember.

Don't need fancy features - just a phone for which I can call and text and isn't too hard to use.

    Sonys and Nokias are pretty reliable. With the LG's the charger port on the phone gets damaged quite easily IMO.

    Nokia 6303 would be a good bet.

    Thank you. After doing some researching, it's between the 6303 and the Sony Ericsson I think.
