All smart phones are carp because you have to charge them every day.

When the next level battery tech comes along, I might even possibly consider one.

This never was a problem for anybody.
Just get a new sim (with £5 RAF credit), then make a call to Tesco and fill in the form on giffgaff website.
It's just their unlimited internet that is good for any smartphone.
And no, I am not with giffgaff. I am on contract with Orange ATM.

Hi grumbler. I finally got around to looking at this. On my old mobile phone I was spending about £40/year with Tesco. If I now start accessing the Internet with my phone and I don't have any package in place I understand from Tescos that it will cost me 60p/MB. A MB is about ten pages, so, given that wifi is so readily available I reckon I'd use about one MB/week in places where I couldn't get wifi. That means my phone cost goes up to £70/year - still less than the giffgaff unlimited Internet option at £120/year. So it seems fine to stay as I am.

There are cheaper options:
chitter-chatter: 100+100+500Mb/unltd for £6/month
talkmobile: 25+50+£0.26/day for £1/month
vectone: 30+30+30Mb for £1/month

I have a £15 basic Nokia for my own sim and a "Smart" phone for work I never have a minutes problem with the Nokia, it talks to the car, battery lasts for several days etc, the so called smart phone locks, freezes, changes it's mind about how it works with the car I like my simple phone and whilst I love my ipod touch I really don't want an iPhone.

I had the pleasure of playing with an iPhone 4S the other day but I could not see any significant advantage of the phone over a decent Android apart from the internal memory.

Are people really prepared to fork out £100+ plus a £40 a month contract?

Can someone explain the logic.

Not another thread, please....
I don't want an iPhone. Am I normal?
What phone to go for iPhone 4s , Android , Windows Phone or BlackBerry
iPhone or Galaxy 2?

ETA: IMO, your question is incorrect. There is no point in asking why rich people buy Porsche for cash. The correct question would be why poor people buy new Mercedes on car finance.
