Anyone used the Nokia 6120c?

I need to get a new mobile phone so I can pass my old one on to lilithmagna. Now my contract has expired, I'd like to move to a really cheap contract since I'm not a heavy phone user, which may mean moving away from Orange. But of course there are lots of options at the cheap end, and I might consider paying a little extra in order to get Internetty goodness.

T-Mobile's cheapest contract (Flext 20 18+ Months) has a number of free-with-contract phones with HSDPA (3G broadband for laptops); right now I'm looking at getting a Nokia 6120c. With itemized billing that contract is £16.50/month; internet costs £1 each day that you use it and has a 1GB/month cap.

Is that the right deal? What else should I be considering? Thanks!

Update: The technical specs for the 6120c indicate that it does not have the Bluetooth DUN Profile or the Bluetooth PAN profile - am I right in thinking that means I can't use this phone to get my laptop online? If so, how shite is that on a scale from 10 to loads?

Bluetooth is what? People use their phones to talk to their laptops? Wow, I feel like I'm living in the 80s still.

I don't think I get what you're getting at here, sorry!

Edit to clarify: I want to talk to the Internet on my laptop via my phone, does that help?

I think the specs may be wrong - Nokia don't tend to disable DUN or other profiles and that list is far too short. Also a quick search finds people using DUN with their 6120cs.

If you get a slightly higher end phone with both S60 and wifi there's an app you can get which turns your phone into a wifi router - which may save some configuration headaches vs Bluetooth.

Anyway, I am at the party so I shouldn't be posting...

It's all a mystery to me

I would be the last person on earth to be able to help you, I'm so incredibly out of it with these kinds of things. Supposedly my phone has Bluetooth but I don't know what that means. And there are probably lots of other features it has I don't even know about. Sometimes I think it's like having a magic relic, like a sword or something, that every now and then does something like "glow blue to indicate Orcs" or "leap out of its scabbard to protect you from poison."
