Internet/Email on Mobile - help Please :)

Im after a bit of advice. My O2 contract is up next month and im looking at new phones/tariffs. I want a phone which has a good web browser and a tariff which includes web browsing/email etc. Ive been looking at Vodaphone because I believe Vodafone live is free and all the other companies Orange, T-Mobile( I know you can get webnwalk) and certainly O2 charge per MB. What experience do people have of Vodafones Live services and which phones do people recommend for browsing?

I was looking at the Sony W850i and the Nokia N73. I would like the Nokia N95 but I think it will cost too much.

Also at what point will O2 issue me with a PAC? I have 6 weeks to go on my contract.

I believe browsing Vodafone's own live pages maybe free but viewing the web isn't and is chargeable. Think its the same story on 3 as well.
There's a few views on phones for web use here http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=372589.

If e-mail is something you use a lot, then you could do worse than staying with O2 and getting a Blackberry 8100 Pearl. They offer a Blackberry service for only £10 a month on tariffs £35 & over (£15 on others) which includes the blackberry e-mail service and up to 75mb data.

As for PAC code, they have a 28 day life span, so the earliest you could get it would be 28 days before you contract runs out but obviously you would need to allow yourself sometime to sort out your new mobile here.

can anybody on vodafone live confirm what browsing is free and what is not?

Thanks
