I need to get a new mobile phone so I can pass my old one on to [livejournal.com profile] 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?

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...
