    I'm looking to switch to a contract, which means I should be able to choose a phone. Does anyone have any recommendations? I'm not too fussed on what features it has, though I'd like WAP, decent camera and stuff like that.</p>

    Any guidance?

    Can't really go wrong with Sony Ericsson in my experience. Not sure on the latest models as I got mine last christmas...but I'd say any of the newer ones will be well worth getting

    It swings too and fro but I'd say Sony Ericsson have it nailed at the moment, for pretty much all functions except stroking the screen with your finger. Which I'm not sure I'm into. I have a penis for that kind of thing.

    daft question from a daft person

    but what does it mean to have a contract phone? If you get, say, &pound;40 pm contract presumably you have up to&pound;40 of calls free? (well not free obviously because you paid for it up front but you get my point). What if you only spend &pound;20 one month, do you have &pound;60 to spend next month? Alternatiovely if I make &pound;50 of calls do I just get a bill for a tenner?</p>

    I'm new to this paying for your phone calls lark ...</p>

    Not quite that simple

    your £40 - or whatever will give you a certain number of hours of time
    - my £25 contract gets me 200 mins a month which can be used on landlines and mobiles and also international calls in certain countries - obviously doesnt cover premium rate calls - such as the Oakwell box office or other international calls they are billed seperately

    any unused hours are carried over to the next month to a maximum of 400 so if I dont make many calls for a couple of months I start paying for time I dont use.

    You also get a decent phone thrown in as well though - and itemised billing - important if you make international work related calls

    O2 can do better than that

    I get 400mins and 1000 txt pm for £30 and got N95b 8mb.

    Tiny prob wi N95. Bugger all battery life, needs daily charge & in cold weather looses all charge in mins. Also occasionally turns
    itself off when I answer a call. Fantastic camera/video function tho

    Bugger! said Noddy to Big Ears

    O2 deal was best I could find when I was looking. Tried Samsung & Sony Ericsson handsets & I'm too thick to be comfortable with their interfaces,
    find the Nokia one far more easy to manage. Played wi a Blackbeery belonging to one of the consultants at work & couldnt work it out. Interested in iPhone but think I'll let em sort out the gliches 1st. Use MMS frequently too so iPhone not an option until MMS easily usable
