What mobile phone?

I am looking to upgrade my t610 to something newer,i got it on this forum over a year ago on the amazing deal when it came out which cost £200 and the tarrif was the data one which was £10 per month and free phone.
Well my contract ended 5 months ago and i still am paying for it but not sure if to cancel it as its such a cheap tariff and no longer available from orange or to end it and use that money towards another updated phone with new tarrif.
Can anyone recommend any good deals or phones and what networks,i was thinking of the 3 network with those super phones that are coming out but i am in scotland and not sure if my signal will be any good as i hear there are many problems with them even with people in london etc so what chance do i have.

whats a good phone? the t610 was popular in its day and i am looking for something to replace that with todays standard of phones.
Treat everyday as your last one on earth! and one day you will be right.

    Orange SPV c500 bluetooth smartphone (also known as SMT5600 in some other countries). Available free at onestopphoneshop with 12 months contract and up to 10 months line rental refund (OVP Relax 100 tariff) from onestopphoneshop. As a result, you can get handset and 100 x-minutes per month for a year for just £46.
    You can also get here Siemens CX65 free with 100 x-minutes and 12 months rental refund or SE K500i free with 200 x-minutes and 11 months rental refund (12 months contract again). You can also save £6.50 via Rpoints or Linemypocket.
    However, some risk is involved as you have 12 months contract with Orange, but get line refunds from other company - onestopphoneshop – usually 3 portions during a year, the last one after 12 months.
  • Before you do sign up for Onestopphoneshop,check out others experiences with their cashback,or rather the absence of it.
    Again they dont try it out on everyone but its something you should be aware of!
