Hi, have read quite a lot of the posts and would really appreciate some advice.

I am currently on an 18mth contract with orange (have been with them for a number of years)

Phone= Nokia 6300 classic
200 mins
400 text
unlimited landline
Magic numbers

£22.50 per month

My usage is just over the 200 but always less than 300mins (including the landline calls), less than 100 texts but I'd like to be able to go on the internet, facebook mainly (sad I know:rotfl:). I've never had a smartphone and not sure exactly what to go for or what I should be aiming for.

I don't want a contract longer than 18mth as I've found my phones won't last much longer (the nokia has a tempermental * button and generally has a mind of it's own now) and would like one with a reasonable battery life.

My contract ends late June and was wondering when is best to phone (it says I can upgrade now) to get the best deal and what I should be trying to get.

Thanks for any good advice :A
