Stuck! Where to even start!? Renewal time

catflea

Im really stuck. I'm coming up towards the end of my current contract with vodafone for my mobile (I will still have a broadband dongle on contract till jan 2011 tho)

for the first time ever I am totally and utterly completely stuck what to look for! I have absolutly no idea what contracts are out there and looking at the comparison sites I've got myself in even more of a muddle!

What I am looking for is a smartphone (must have sat-nav ability) pref HTC for less than £25 a month on an 18 month contract. I'm not a huge talker and I would expect to use less than 200 minutes each month but really would prefer unlimited texts and a decent level of web access.

Am I asking the impossible? Ideally I'd want to stay with Voda but would love some ammo to use on their retentions team. :cool: If I cant get a decent deal from voda, i'd be looking at 02. (I've had experience of 3 and tmobile....)

Can anyone help me with some pointers of where to start looking - or even some suggestions of contracts that are out there.

BTW, for the record I currently have HTC magic on £35 a month 18 month. and really will be needing a replacement phone (Its on the verge of breakdown)

decide on a phone
then look at whats available
personally even though i have phone sat nav i bought a separate sat nav
the 4"+ screen makes a big difference

Thats the thing. I have no idea what handset I want, and price is really the driving factor.

BTW, I have no intention of paying for a handset

so you basically want folks to go looking for deals on random phones for you?

we're holding out for the Nokia C7 to become available on Orange for our business contracts, the nokia ovi maps comes out pretty well in tests & you don't have to be online when using it. i agree though, way too much choice & options to pick from, good luck!

No, I want ideas on where I can look! and suggestions for handsets!
I'm not luddite but things seem to have changed dramatically in the last 18 months and I'm feeling very very lost!

why not look at the new HTC handsets i believe vodafone do the Desire, desire HD and desire z,CHECK THE HTC OR VODAFONE WEBSITE FOR SPECS, i would have thought you could probably get th desire for £25 from them maybe not the other two.

Thats useful. Thanks Malky

On looking at the spec for the desire, it seems to meet all of my requirements!
