reccomend me a new phone

1jim

Hi
I have just signed up with giffgaff an now would like a new phone with internet capability to take advantage of unlimited internet as I realise my ageing Sony Ericsson 250i wont cut it

I ideally would not want to spend more than £100 but can go up a bit if needed (maybe £150)

Wish list
Internet (must have)
Wifi (would be great for speed when near free hotspot)
doesnt have to be a smartphone with ability for apps but if would be a bonus if its better I guess
Phone unlocked or on o2 so can just use straight away

Dont know if thats a little vague or not, as you can see by my current phone Im not all that into phones so dont know whats good and whats gimmiky.
thanks

Blackberry. With all the problems the new iPhone is having think I'll give it a miss!!

Exhortation

Mobiles.co.uk will do you a Blackberry Curve for circa £110 on O2 PAYG. Their contract phones are unlocked but not sure of the PAYG ones. Also, going through a cashback site to purchase it might get you a few pounds.

you might be able to get a deal on a 3gs if the iphone4 is too expensive or worried about the publicised problems.
i was checking out a colleague's new desire on friday and i still far prefer my 3gs even though it's a bit lower in some specs.
i previously used the curve 8900 and the screen is microscopic compared with most phones and the email client was useless as i could only see the inbox not all my other folders.

i've been pondering for ages but i can't justify buying it when i have a perfectly decent working phone (nokia 5530)
i tried to get my hubby to buy himself one but he wont
